Culture War

My apologies. Perhaps I got carried away against the wrong person.

But this post by you:

"It was to show that there are Christian organizations and people associated with the game.

LBG probably paid LaHaye and Jenkins to make use of the title, character names and story concept. Aren't LaHaye and Jenkins right wing Christians? LaHaye is right-wing from his political contributions since the Republican party was right wing when I last checked. While I disagree with his dispensationalist theology, I wouldn't call him a non-Christian because of it.

LaHaye and Jenkins may not represent all of the religious right, but the dispensationalist theology found in Left Behind is the predominant eschatological view of the religious right."

Sounds like you are in perfect agreement with the OP.

Again, I apologize if such is not the case.

 

It sounds like the concept of the game is "convert instead of kill" rather than "convert or kill".

 

I agree with DefCon that this game is a product of religious right beliefs. I disagree with DefCon that the game or the religious right supports the idea of "convert or die".

 

Thanks for the clarification.

 

Apparently you are correct.
The attack is upon WalMart.
I hope someone like Glen Beck finds out who is
paying for whom's destruction.

This is from a neutral site:

They give it 2 out of 5 stars (i.e. it is a poor game)

//Pros
Interesting premise; unusual "nonviolent" strategic design//

//Yep, it's a game about evangelical Christians battling
the forces of Satan, which is one of the few interesting
things about this otherwise poor excuse for a real-time strategy game.//

This information clashes with the information
at the site cited in the OP (opening post)

 

Thank you, Ed.
