Amazing.

If they don’t convert, they die.

Turnabout is fair play.

“Shut up” Fine retort.

So then, acording to you, DoD should be used to push a particular religion.......like Islam?

Careful. Your ignorance of policy and ethics is showing.

" We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity"

Yeah, I'm sure that goes over real well in Israel.

I’ve heard this game sucks, completely aside from the religious perspective.

Don’t disagree.

The battle is agains Islam.

Unfortunately, there are those in the State Department who refuse to identify the problem/enemy.

Let’s hold hand and sing Kumbaya while they kill us.

Most of those boys are Christian and I have no problem with this. Islam and Christianity aren’t equal.

“Islam and Christianity aren’t equal.”

Maybe in your religious eyes they aren’t but in the eyes of gov’t policy and law, l-a-w, they are.

That is where whoever is overseeing this “America Supports You Program” is askew.

I didn't read it as they were pushing a religion. I read it as the DoD 'endorsed' the tour of this group, meaning the DoD didn't have a problem with it from a security perspective.

I'm sure the DoD has 'endorsed' (meaning okayed) other tours as well, even those of the leftist Hollyweird types who go over to visit the soldiers.

“I didn’t read it as they were pushing a religion...”

Try reading it more slowly.

“The entertainment includes the distribution of packets with religious tracts...”

The allegations about the game have been completely debunked. It is not “convert or die”. The reporter made that all up. Go look up the actual game description offered by the manufacturer.

It’s not entirely the game.

Include the:“The entertainment includes the distribution of packets with religious tracts...” and it takes on a different significance

Why am I NOT astounded that a reporter would make stuff up about “fundamentalist” Christians?

From the LeftBehindGames website (http://www.eternalforces.com/features.aspx):
Contrary to misinformation on the web, this game does not include references to any other religion. Also, there is NO killing in the name of God, and NO convert or die missions. All content has been reviewed and approved by Tyndale House Publishers prior to publication.
Sounds like the reporter might have lied. Wonder why?
