Left Behind is Coming to Town

SJR — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 21:59:50 MST

This statement is posted from an employee of Left Behind Games on behalf of Troy Lyndon, our Chief Executive Officer.

There has been in incredible amount of MISINFORMATION published in the media and in online blogs here and elsewhere.

Pacifist Christians and other groups are taking the game material out of context to support their own causes. There is NO "killing in the name of God" and NO "convert or die". There are NO "negative portrayals of Muslims" and there are NO "points for killing".

Please play the game demo for yourself (to at least level 5 of 40) to get an accurate perspective, or listen to what CREDIBLE unbiased experts are saying after reviewing the game at www.leftbehindgames.com/pages/controversy.htm

Then, we'd love to hear your feedback as an informed player.

The reality is that we're receiving reports everyday of how this game is positively affecting lives by all who play it.

Thank you for taking the time to be a responsible blogger.

I had a substitute bus driver back in highschool that looked like jesus. He wore a hat that said "Jesus, coming soon", and on every Tuesday he would say "Happy Tuesday" as we got off the bus. I find the idea of playing this game just as appealing as taking the bus. Thanks, but no thanks.

Wasn't there an article not too long ago about this game installing spyware on your PC?

"Christian Retail Show?" Do me a favor, would you? While you're there, could you kick over a few of the money changers' tables? I'd appreciate it. So would Jesus, I'm sure.

Um, I think I'm gonna stay behind on this one guys. And is it me, or does the idea of a Christian retail show somewhat, you know, defeat the whole point?

Every time I read something about this game, all I can think of is damn Simpson's episode where Homer is convinced that the Rapture is nigh and runs around yelling "IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!! GOD LOVES YOU!! HE'S GOING TO KILL YOU!!".

"Enjoy...fighting in China Town , SoHo , Uptown and more!" Wandering around New York, battling heathens and sinners while all the virtuous people have left for better places...sounds like a typical weekend in The Big Apple. I knew I should have gotten that summer share. "unnecessary killing will result in lower Spirit points which are essential to winning" I have to tell myself that every morning when I wake up.
