Kill A Muslim For Christ Or Get Left Behind?

Who would create a video gamed aimed at children where Christians kill non-Christians who won’t convert? The same people who brought you the “Left Behind” book series and The Purpose Driven Life. Talk to Action has the story:

Imagine: you are a foot soldier in a paramilitary group whose purpose is to remake America as a Christian theocracy, and establish its worldly vision of the dominion of Christ over all aspects of life. You are issued high-tech military weaponry, and instructed to engage the infidel on the streets of New York City. You are on a mission - both a religious mission and a military mission -- to convert or kill Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, gays, and anyone who advocates the separation of church and state - especially moderate, mainstream Christians. Your mission is "to conduct physical and spiritual warfare"; all who resist must be taken out with extreme prejudice. You have never felt so powerful, so driven by a purpose: you are 13 years old. You are playing a real-time strategy video game whose creators are linked to the empire of mega-church pastor Rick Warren, best selling author of The Purpose Driven Life.

Is there a difference between a video game like this – where Christians hunt non-Christians – and the hateful rhetoric we hear from Islamic fundamentalists towards Christians and Jews? No. Hate is hate no matter what religion it comes from. Any store that carries this video game should be boycotted.
