Left Behind game being left behind
Remember the Left Behind game we talked about a couple weeks ago? In a stunning turn of events, it seems that the Christians are leaving behind Left Behind after all. GameDaily.biz reports that certain Christian groups are actually coming together to protest the game (what won't Christians get offended about?) in light of it's interpretation of biblical events. From the article:
In particular, Rev. Tim Simpson, a Jacksonville Presbyterian minister and president of the Christian Alliance for Progress, said that the game actually distorts biblical prophecy while promoting religious intolerance and violence at the same time. He also said that it rejects accepted biblical scholarship by misreading prophetic books like Revelation.
Considering that the bible sees eating shellfish and having gay sex equally sinful and hell-worthy, this is pretty silly. While I agree that Left Behind has some pretty negative themes, the bible is viewed by most Christians as very open to interpretation and cherry-picking. I just think it's funny the Christian Coalition thinks that enough people will actually play this game to warrant an all-out protest.
