Maybe I'm some kind of crazy old man, but this enterprise strikes me as obscene."<BR/><BR/>To answer your question, yes, I am an old-fashioned, unreconstructed Liberal. And I find this discussion to be sub-Christian. Perhaps we can have a different exchange one day more like Christians should exhibit to a reading world.Hootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01108363655472450828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129944.post-1149208083656310442006-06-01T19:28:00.000-05:002006-06-01T19:28:00.000-05:00"The video game by Left Behind Games is legit, com..."The video game by Left Behind Games is legit, coming from a respected Christian source."<BR/><BR/>Well, the game is real, if that is what you meant. I don't know what you mean by "legitimate." Do I think its a good idea? I have some concerns. Does it advocate what you said it did? No.<BR/><BR/>"The description by Talk to Action is a terrible mischaracterization by a group your site describes as "anti-Christian RIGHT.""<BR/><BR/>Yes, the description is very inaccurate. Yes, I said they are anti-Christian right. They are fairly explicit about the goal of stopping the "religious right." So, what's the beef with my characterization"<BR/><BR/>"But that description is "an example of liberal paranoid delusions.""<BR/><BR/>Yes, many liberals and/or secularists have proven a rather startling level of creduality by taking the description at face value. I saw over and over again "this has to be a hoax, but it is not." That should have tipped them off.<BR/><BR/>"The delusion came from the right but liberals get the credit...right?"<BR/><BR/>Ah, I think I see the misunderstanding. Talk2Action is an anti-religious-right group. I called this "anti-Christian right." They are against conservative Christians and think they are trying to take over the country.<BR/><BR/>So, the bad description came from the left and was repeated across the 'net.<BR/><BR/>"Oh wait. I almost forgot. The "liberal" part is ME. My mistake was taking note of the two and saying "lookit what I found!""<BR/><BR/>Well, I don't know if you are a liberal or not. Are you? In any event, you expressed some question as to the Talk2Action report. It was that report that I said was "very inaccurate." Sorry if you felt mislabeled.Laymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761410435140602771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129944.post-1149207641129600062006-06-01T19:20:00.000-05:002006-06-01T19:20:00.000-05:00Let me get this straight.

The game does not have the player try to establish a theocracy or kill people who don't convert. In fact, you are penalized for killing people, even though Christian forces are fighting against the anti-Christ's army. <BR/><BR/>See more about the nature of the game, with quotes from secular reviewers who have actually played it:<BR/><BR/>http://christiancadre.blogspot.com/2006/06/truth-about-left-behind-video-game.htmlLaymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761410435140602771noreply@blogger.com
