LEFT BEHIND VIDEO GAME FEATURES PISTOL-PACKING ANGELS

Lord save us from wingnut Christianists. A violent videogame for "Christians"? The message these people send to the world about Christ must surely break our Lord's heart.

Their belief in the imminent end of days is so exciting. Human history, to them, really is a video game with a wildly action-packed third act and the happiest ending imaginable. It's a beautiful thought, even when you're shooting nurses and blowing up U.N. peacekeeping helicopters.

More here and here.

I can't think of a more appropriate use of the "Left Behind" novels and genre than in the form of a fictional game. Since the entire premise of the books, the millenialistic distortion of our Lord's second coming, is itself a fiction.

Will they rate this "M" due to the horribly graphic nature of the speculations? Or will it receive a new rating of "FD" for "False Doctrine" or "WOTAM" for "Waste of Time and Money"?
