Kicking ass for the Lord
From Jill:
Okay [...] the ten peso version is that the Left Behind guys made (endorsed, whathaveyou) a video game where soldiers run around after the rapture and execute the non-believers.
Yep. The game is called LEFT BEHIND: ETERNAL FORCES, and it will totally save your soul.

This report is very misleading. 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.
See more about the nature of the game, with quotes from secular reviewers who have actually played it:

According to the LA Times, you aren’t actually penalized for killing non-believers, but rather that you lose some of your soul points and must build your levels back up through prayer. But you can play for the devil’s side, if you want to, so it’s sure to reach a wider audience…
