I rather think that the idea of a “Christian v. everybody else” game is precisely what’s offensive. You might as well argue that the sexism you point out isn’t offensive. After all, if you’re going to have a game where men are naturally superior to women, then obviously, women are going to be pretty much useless in the game, right?
What, only Muslims? Not Mormons?
(I KID, Monty, I KID - you know what the whacko-nutjobs are like.)

But the idea is that the “rapture” sucked away all the Christians, so then there’s just evil and not-as-evil battling for what’s left. The game takes place in a world minus all Christians. The player of the game is on the side of “oh my God, the Christians were right!”
That’s just a nitpick. Still a terrible game concept. I doubt it will sell well. I hadn’t even heard of it prior to this thread.
Oh, us Mormons definitely qualify, but probably we were all burned in one of the other tribulations or something.

JESUS CHRIST!
I’m just waiting for the next This Week In God on the Daily Show to cover this.
Well, they are Christians, it’s just that they converted after the rapture.
I think there could be a good Armageddon game, maybe with various religions duking it out. It could even have this as the theme song (you can ignore the slideshow here, I just linked to it for the song).
We Muslims do believe in Jesus Christ…we however disagree that he was God incarnate or the Son of God or part of the Trinity or that he was crucified and came back after how many days.

'Fraid not. See post #10.
A fair and balanced review of *Left Behind: Eternal Forces.
“I talk to you, we glow, and then you’re a Christian. It’s just that easy.”
Bumping this thread because, thanks to the cool folks at Cracked, I have been informed that a a first-person Jesus simulator is available. I know nothing about game playing on Steam, but this bit from the link is golden:
Didn’t the Dude (my free translation of El Señor) die to save the world? Anyway, I’m wondering wht this means:
What does “pass” mean there? It seems to me, though, that this game might have the potential to be more Christ-like in actual play than LB: EF. It also seems to have the potential to be, well, not so divine.
Yep; “It’s December” pretty much sums up why there’s more crazy Christian crap now.
Perhaps just a typo for “path”?
If I’m going to play a bloody game that involves lots of killing people, just because you can, I’m going to go for the ‘tried-and-true’. Carmageddon. Let’s go squick some peds…
And not put all the blame on poor God, for a change. “I ran them over because it was FUN, OK?”
Yes, I’m 13 years late with this, but essentially “Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!”?
Did you notice the typo I made in that post?
Almost to the day!
Re-reading the thread got me wondering about the game’s “losing spirit points” and then the character is on the evil side. I thought the fundied out types preached OSAS.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome?
Once Saved Always Saved. Meaning you can kill someone for the fun of it and you will still go to Heaven.
I won’t play the Jesus game. I hate pray-to-win mechanics.
