Except a good portion of those acts were ordered by god or given his blessing. Not to mention, god directly kills millions in the flood, job's family, etc. It's a amazingly violent set of stories.
Jesus, I think, tried to separate his faith from that sort of stuff, but unfortunately, his followers didn't seem to be able to. Even his tale ends in violence and bloodshed, something the religion built itself on, aka, 'he died for your sins'. I think that itself is the wrong message to send. It should focus more on his life, and living by example, then a guilt trip about his death.

Here's an example all you in-cognito developers are free to steal...
Grand Theft Jesus: Travel throughout Purgatory City trying to spread the word of Christ. With your Arsenal of ever-increasing Bible verses you will commandeer vehicles in the name of Christ in your attempt at converting whores, drug lords, and crack-heads into loving, caring Christians.
And if that doesn't work you can blow their heads of with your 12-gauge loaded with blessed silver bullets. Hallelujah!

Guitar Praise was horrible in song selection, in my opinion, and I'd want to do a band game with them if I could gather a team for it.
Less RelientK, more... oh, I dunno. Staple.

Matter of fact, let's talk. If you were compiling songs to sell a rhythm game to churches and youth groups, what songs would you include?

There are ultra violent games, and there are ultra religious games. And you making fun of the religious games, puts you in the very same boat as the religious people ragging on the violent games. You've become what you hate so to speak, and to be honest, is all to typical of people like you.

"or expose them to the wrong things to soon."
You gotta read a post before you hit the reply button.

Sure did. I remember having them in stock in the store.
Even discounted to 1.99, nobody wanted them. Eventually got field destroyed.
@Phydeaux:
And this. It was hardly a 'nonviolent christian game'. It was VERY violent in terms of 'T for Teen or M for Mature' and what a religious game should be like, with you saving the souls of the damned. Interesting concept, horrible execution and blatant disregard for anyone who belongs to any religion (or doesnt) other than Christianity. The hypocrisy was astounding.

*sigh*
So, I didn't win Alpha Centauri by negotiating a planetary peace? Must have hallucinated it.
