Strangely, your supplies come from cafés. Yes, those kind of cafés, with the accents aigu, where presumably your Christian army stays victualed alongside the anticlerical, surrender-prone French running the joints.

French cafés? Not the Starbucks in the local megachurch foyer?

--I am curious about and will closely watch to see if any of those driverless cars careening down the road after the "rapture" collide with any of those with an "If It Ain't The King James, It Ain't The Bible" bumper sticker---

If the quality of the programming matches the quality off the Left Behind writing, then I for one will be avoiding it!

The Bible doesn't portray The Second Coming as secret. The "Behold I come as a thief in the night" refers to the suddeness. There is no Secret rapture.

For the same reason that Doom did not create any sociopaths, Left Behind will not flood the ranks of Christian warriors.

And Doom was about 800,000,000,000 times better.

It begins suddenly: a flash, and they’re gone. Leaving behind just wisps of smoke and personal effects, the righteous are transported to heaven. The rest of us stay trapped on Earth, confused about our missing colleagues, friends, spouses and children, without whom we will enter a period of biblically foretold carnage called the Tribulation.

Utter and complete crap. Not the game. It's probably as crappy as most games. Just the idea of a two stage rapture. For that there is ZERO scriptural support. And the little that others offer as support is either irrelevant (I Corinthians, I Thessalonians) or a direct contradiction of the text (the "two working in a field and one will be left") or a misrepresentation (the Ephraim the Syrian sermon on the coming of the anti-Christ). Other scriptures that directly contradict such a notion are completely ignored (cf relationship of trumpet to the end of the age in I Corinthians 15; I Thessalonians 4; Matthew 24; the timeline of the gathering of the wicked versus the gathering of the just in Matthew; the relationship of the appearing of the Lord to the end of the age, Matthew 24, II Peter 3, II Thessalonians 1).

I opt for a better guerilla warfare game that's based on the new world order conspiracy theories about the UN coming to confiscate guns, where you're Joe Nobody and you gang up with your duck hunting buddies to fight the inept blue-helmeted peacekeepers as they needlessly terrorize your neighborhood with the aid of black ninja suit-wearing generic government agents. This would be an equally rediculous game but much more entertaining without making a mockery of the Bible. And of course it will drive the left insane.
