Jesus Fucking Christ, all I want from Baby Jesus this year is this:
Christians have finally created an excellent video game, with loads of heathen killing and forced conversions, only to have liberals demand the game be pulled of shelves. Unaccepting hippie types want Wal-Mart to stop selling Left Behind: Eternal Forces because they say it sends the wrong message. The game is inspired by a series of Christian novels that are popular with teenagers and have sold over 60 million copies.
The novels are based on the Book of Revelation and take place after the Rapture. Jesus has already come and gone and all the nonbelievers are dealing with life under the Antichrist. And life ain't so good.
The game is set in an apocalyptic New York City, where the secretary-general of the UN is the Antichrist and players can choose between the Antichrist and the Lord Jesus Christ. The only drawback is that if you do choose to fight with the Antichrist, you cannot win. If you choose Jesus, not only are you a winner but you will also be among the righteous, who are represented by gospel singers, missionaries and medics. If you fight with the Antichrist, you will battle alongside rock stars and people with Muslim-sounding names.
When asked about the Arab and Muslim-sounding names, Left Behind Games' president Jeffrey Frichner said the game does not endorse prejudice. But "Muslims are not believers in Jesus Christ"_and thus can't be on Christ's side in the game.
