Another example of the DBM equating the Christian Right with religious fanaticism(Islamio-fascism).

The problem with this game seems to be that they want Christians to do what the Islamofascists do.

Lothian: "Glenn bought the game for her son, Weston, to test, after hearing about the controversy online." Weston Glenn (onscreen graphic: teen gamer): "Basically, there's no way to get through the game without killing people in the name of God."
I get it now, it is perfectly okay for Muslims to kill people in real life but alas, don't dare do that in a video game. Funny thing, I read all the "Left Behind" books and I do not remember one instance where anyone was killed at the hands of the true believers. Christianity on the attack, as always!

If the government wanted to do good with the money they steal via taxation, then they could buy us all ear-plugs so we don't have to listen to our fellow citizens complaining about this and that.
All arguments about this game are exceedingly eclipsed by the truly offensive act of whining, and generally telling others what they should and shouldn't do.

"Critics say, though, in fact, it's encouraging hate and religious intolerance."
Have they EVER brought on someone who says this about Islam?

This game is set in the future, after the Rapture(where God takes all the believers up to heaven). Some of the people that are left, then become Christians and are fighting against the "armies of the anti-Christ". Whether or not you even believe in the Bible or the rapture, the setting is clearly a "good verses evil" or even more clearly a "God verses the devil" with clear definitions, set in some future time after a major world event. It isn't like the game is set in the here and now, playing a "fantasizing game" about converting or killing "innocent" people. These people need to get a real job.

Mr. Lothian informed his cable audience that some people have attacked the game, which features characters battling the anti-Christ and fighting for souls, as bigoted. The AntiChrist IS bigoted. That's the point.
Meanwhile Islamic supremacists (who push for a legal system which has fewer rights and protections for non-muslims and prays 5 times daily to a city in which non-muslims are prohibited from entering) get a free pass in the media.
Is it a coincidence that Islam meets the standard of a religion of an antiChrist as it teaches OF Jesus while denying His divinity, His death, and His resurrection, leading the flock astray to kill in the name of an imperial theocracy?

Did this "Mom" ever see Grand Theft Auto? In that game you kill just for the hay of it - or to grab a cool car - when you don't have to kill to progress.
