Too funny. The world is crumbling around our ears while we concede more and more to pro-Islamic, pro-Sharia groups who want to establish a global caliphate, but dammit, a video game about wacky Christians is downright scary. You know, like America is scary, or Stephen Harper is scary.

A Christian video game has become the latest battleground in America's "culture" wars, with its maker claiming it promotes prayer while critics charge it carries a message of violent religious intolerance.

"Left Behind: Eternal Forces," is a teen-rated PC strategy game based on the wildly popular Left Behind Christian book series. Set in New York City after millions of Christians have been transported to heaven, its players are charged with recruiting, and converting, an army that will engage in physical and spiritual warfare with the Antichrist and his evil followers.

Yesterday, a U.S. advocacy group that monitors right-wing religious activities called on retail giant Wal-Mart to pull the game from its shelves.

Critics describe it as "a violent video game in which born-again Christians aim to convert or kill those who don't adhere to their extreme ideology."

Again, let me point out: It's not okay in a game, but it's totally okay in real life? War games and games with pimps and ho's are fine, but Christains are a bad influence.

This, of course, is according to liberals and faux Christains. From the Talk To Action website:

Talk to Action is a platform for reporting on, learning about, and analyzing and discussing the religious right -- and what to do about it.

There is an editorial framework for this site than that is different than you will find on other major blog sites, so please read this carefully: We are pro-religious equality and pro-separation of church and state. We are prochoice, and we support gay and lesbian civil rights -- including marriage equality. Therefore, debates about the validity of abortion and gay rights are off topic.

We understand that some people who share our general concern about the politics of the Christian Right may not agree on all of these matters. That's fine. Anyone who agrees with the general mission of this site is welcome to participate -- but bearing this in mind.

It is our intention to take the conversation forward, and not let it be held back by debating what, in our view are or should be, settled matters of human, civil and constitutional rights. Similarly, religious debates are off topic, especially debates between theism and atheism. Finally, we are nonpartisan. While political discussions are welcome, -- even central to the purpose of this site -- we do not wish the site itself to be a platform that is necessarily for or opposed to any particular party.

Uh huh. We're Christian, but whatever you do, DON'T talk to us about God! What a joke. Only a liberal could be afraid of Ned Flanders with a gun, instead of worrying about the very real likelihood that soon there will be no gays, or rights for women, or anything else they've come to love so much.
