Heaven help us: a "Left Behind" video game...

[dwgm]

...in which "believers" try to convert or, failing that, blow away the infidels (i.e., "Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, gays, and anyone who advocates the separation of church and state -- especially moderate, mainstream Christians" - source: Talk to Action). dressagespirit, who is generally far more cognizant than I of the various outrages that seem to be par for the course these days in the U.S., posted a boggle about a hot-as-Hell new video game based on the "Left Behind" series of books.

Truly unbelievable. Old Hob must be rolling with laughter.

Well, this is the first time I, belonging to a rather conservative denomination that actively promotes the separation of church and state, have been classified as an infidel! Hooray for the infidels! What a 'charming' twist on the "love your enemies" version of Christianity. Zeal for their cause has certainly eaten them up.

You're right. This is one for Hell's Comedy Night.

You're joking, right?

You really blow away people who are different than you? Seriously? This can't be real.

I'm just...flabbergasted.

This is just awful! I haven't read the series of books based on my dislike for radical theology of any nature.

Wow...just wow. I don't like those books and now this....just have no words but I am raising my kids in the Orthodox Christian faith, one of the oldest Christian traditions there is...and to just accept everyone.

I am just floored can't think of anything else to say. *goes back to playing Lego Star Wars*

Good lord, save us from those who are trying to save us.

Aaaarrghh! My only response is to be very, VERY thankful that my kids are too old for a particular well-meaning relative (who is always recommending those books to me) to gift them with this disgusting item.

I am convinced that the Devil is alive and well and his favorite game is fooling his followers into thinking they are following Christ ...

A truly appalling idea, that. *rolls eyes* Tells us something we'd rather not know about some of our compatriots, doesn't it?

On a more positive note... a drabble for you!
