Saw Eric Shawn on The Daily Show last night. Cute righty agitprop I thought~nurturing hatred for the U.N. Strange how the world throws down a bit of reality every now and then (dang liberal bias)...
I found this today:
The game's heroes belong to a group of fighters called the Tribulation Force, people whose husbands, wives or children disappeared in the Rapture. This is the moment referred to in the title when, some Christians believe, God calls the faithful to Heaven, leaving the rest behind to face seven years of tribulation.
More below the fold.
The game is set in New York City, where the Tribulation Force clashes with the Antichrist's Global Community Peacekeepers in a tale that makes the United Nations a tool for Satan. Each side attempts to recruit lost souls in the battle for the city. "Eternal Forces" is a so-called real-time strategy game -- players act as battlefield generals for their virtual armies, deciding where to place units and when to order attacks or retreats.
In the game, Tribulation squads unleash the usual arsenal against the Antichrist: guns, tanks, helicopters. But soldiers lose some of their spirituality every time they kill an opponent and must be bolstered through prayer. The failure to nurture good guys causes their spirit points to drop, leaving them vulnerable to recruitment by the other side.
The player's choices prompt intervention by angelic forces or unleash demons who feast on the faithful. As players progress through the increasingly difficult levels, they see Scripture passages presented as secret scrolls and hear inspirational music.
much more..

I think I agree with old "Mahatma" on this one....
The only people on Earth who do not see Christ and His teachings as nonviolent are Christians. Still undecided on his maxim, "truth is more powerful than any weapon of mass destruction."
As a civil liberties fan I defend their right to "go kooky" it is a deep concern of mine that most Americans generally turn their back on our liberal founding fathers...

So, any of you gonna play? Evidently on multiplayer you can be the "Antichrist"...
