GTA or Left Behind?

Because violence in video games is only okay if JESUS is doing it! I want to try the online multi-player if only to be the anti-Christ. Sweet.

Converting Video Games Into Instruments of God

"'Left Behind' has the Antichrist, the end of the world, the apocalypse," said co-creator Jeffrey S. Frichner. "It's got all the Christian stuff, and it's still got all the cool stuff."

"Another publisher is marketing games based on the "Veggie Tales" series of Christian videos for children. Another is pitching "Bibleman: A Fight for Faith," about a superhero who stands up for the word of God with his sidekicks Cypher and Biblegirl."

Bibleman. A video game based on Buddy from Charles in Charge. Great. Wouldn't mind seeing the Veggie Tales game. I have no choice, my wife is raising my son Christian. However, VT is actually a bit funny.

"In multiplayer games, participants can choose to command the Antichrist's forces."

Do they make it unbalanced? Can you actually WIN as the antichrist? If so, I'd like to see THAT ending.

My co-worker asked the same thing but I bet they would because isn't the whole thing with the Rapture that all the people left behind are bad and all the good Christians are now up in heaven? So to the fundie Christians it doesn't matter what bad things happen to those of us still down here, because we deserve it. Or something like that. I was raised Methodist but I don't ascribe to any particular religion now. I believe in God and live a good life, and I think He's down with that.

Yeah, but can you still bludgeon hookers to death with a baseball bat in these god games?
