Christian video and computer games may soon be appearing on Walmart shelves.
Seeing as how tomorrow, May 21st, is supposed to be the Rapture and all the supposed "believers" are going to mysteriously disappear and make their way to heaven, many people are wondering "what about those that get left behind? Well, back in 2006, a rather controversial PC game was released that addressed the issue of those not included in the rapture. That game was aptly titled Left Behind.
My rapture party is starting in about an hour. Thought I would look in to see what the new games of the apocalypse are going to be like.
Hasn't happened yet.
You're all fools! The end is coming, you'll see!!! You're all gonna...
Wait, what do you mean it's the 22nd now? Riiiight then. Guess I probably shouldn't have spend all my money and quit my job.
Oh well....such is life!
Or you could've put on that Armani suit and filled your pants at some point so that the person lucky enough to stumble upon the pile of clothes got a nice surprise.
Exactly. One man says it and suddenly it's the truth. Plus he has said it before and was wrong. Anyone noticed that no religious group even bothered to agree or disagree with him? That is to show what a joke he is.
It says in the bible that no man will know when the end is coming.
Bible also said there was a giant flood and a giant boat.
So did Gilgamesh.... whooops, don't tell the fundies that their story was ripped from an earlier much more interesting version.
^^^^^^^ Oh :O, someone who thinks they know something because they heard it from someone else without doing any real research.
Below: Lol I think you haven't even be near a bible
The Bible also said that gay people, people that cheat and have sex before getting married, people that have sex with animals have to be killed.
Or is it...."put to death" does that have the same meaning ?
I'm all for that, but killing animals ?
No, forget it, the bible is retarded anyway
Others say a giant rock smashed into the Earth. They're both equally believable.
yoge, you nailed it.
I don't know how so many of these believers trust one moron that's been wrong many times before.
He's just another snake oil salesman posing as a religious zealot.
Anyone with a brain could have picked up a Bible and found the verse that yoge refers to.
The bible was also written 400 years after Jesus' death by a bunch of Romans. Its a load of crap.
I wish this world could just forget religion and live happily without this God bs...
But each to his own. Beleive that stuff if you want
100% agree,religion has done nothing but divide people and brought along so much death in the process
I guess the Rylands papyrus and critical new testament scholarship are part of a conspiracy. But don't mind me, I'll let you get back to reading Dan Brown's fiction.
I would love to know how you came about this information about romans writing the bible. If you guys want to put all your faith into scientist having all the right answers, you go right ahead. They are always disagreeing with each other and changing their minds. They claim they know whats happening 4 billion years across the universe, yet can't make up their minds on global warming
@NYC_Gamer
The Bible actually warns against forcing religion on people. Humankind causes its own strife when we blow things out of proportion and/or misinterpret things.
yea too bad the bible is also full of shit
edit: to xstation - you say "put all your faith into scientist having all the right answers" NO- not true, scientists dont have all the answers and i dont have all my faith in them. it doesnt mean i should believe Fairy Tell-esk nonsense that is written in a book written by a 19 year old. (they didnt live that long back then, he was probably 19 or younger)
Making fun of other peoples religion and saying the bible is full of shit is crossing the line. You may not believe what others do, but atleast show some respect. I'm off to find another gaming news site that isn't made up of 12 year olds with their dumbass comments.
The Bible contains wisdom and answers to problems we still face today. Even an atheist could benefit from reading some of it. The book of Proverbs is the best example.
On May 21st all the NEO-CONS will disappear? hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray. Let's throw a global party and celebrate!
We should all sing while we wait. I will start it off
"Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...always look on the bright side of life..."
From Gamertell:
"Digital Praise, the company responsible for the music games Dance Praise and Guitar Praise , has announced a planned merger with Left Behind Games Inc, most well-known for games based on the Left Behind best-selling series of books."
And here come the Hate-bots over a story about two game companies merging because they happen to be Christian studios.
"HIA GUIS DIS ES WAT I TINK OB REGIGIONS AND STUFFZ. I'L BE UR AL CURIOUS ON ONE PERTSONS OPIGION ON TEH VIDEOGAM SITE"
^^^^These are the people whom are on their way to debate each other.
@SilentNegotiator
if you hate free speech so much you should move to a country like iran, there nobody can diz religions(at least the islam)
Hah - games about made up super beings preying on the little guys - but enough about GoW3!
I think this is great - 2 christian companies getting in bed together.... Hey, was lightning outside?
r.
"if you hate free speech so much you should move to a country like iran, there nobody can diz religions(at least the islam)"
Yes, because me making fun of people debating theism on a video game website means I hate free speech. Excellent deduction, holmes.
"The Killer should be here any second now?"
I'm shocked he isn't here yet. I guess he went to the Saturday service? :P
called Super Noahs ark. It was a mod of wolfenstien and you were noah shooting feed at animals to make them go to sleep.
My friend had it and you needed to put a real snes game into the top of it for it to work.

Anyways like Bart would say "All the good developers are affiliated with Satan"
lol
I'm glad they are hemorrhaging money, religion has no place in video games... just like in schools.
Well I dunno about you, but I think GoW3 looks frikin cool! >:)
I liked Darksiders too. xP
A good game is a good game. If you dont want to buy the Christian themed game...............then dont buy it. That is why there are different genres of games for different people.
I'm a nonbeliever, but I think religion in games is fine, especially if it's brought up in a secular, academic manner (Bioware does it nicely, as does Irrational Games).
And I also support those mindlessly pro-God games; let the religious idealogues have their own ways to entertain themselves.
I couldn't help but think of a GTA in Jesus form. xD
That sounds so fun.
Especially with a karma system.
Anyway >_>
I think it'd be tight to have some Christian games, wouldn't bother me.
Moar gamez!
In an article that tried to play to the fears of the general public, The Bulletin's Susan Brinkmann pointed to how some (read: "one") feel that video games are developing an anti-religion message.
Rather than try to discredit Brinkmann like some others have, Binge Gamer Dot Net's James Walker takes her to task and briefly examines religion in games before slamming the gaaming industry for being overly apologetic whenever a group gets offended by a particular game.
Hurray?
The only religious game I'd play is God of War or Assassin's Creed. These Christian games try too hard to educate, though I'd love to see some bad ass game based around the religion instead (like Assassin's Creed).
Rated J for Jesus?.
Can I finally get my copy of Wii Pray?
The two comments above me are golden.
Bubbles!
Although, I wouldn't mind a game that was set during the days of the Crusades...that would be pretty intense to play as a Crusader in the King's guard or something.
The fact that the Left Behind series is considered to be "Christian" is one of the biggest reasons I totally understand people hating religion.
For some reason I don't remember reading about Jesus slaughtering "non-believers" in any actual Christian texts.
