Schlock Fiction "Left Behind" Series Now A Bigoted Video Game
Imagine: you are a foot soldier in a paramilitary group whose purpose is to remake America as a Christian theocracy, and establish its worldly vision of the dominion of Christ over all aspects of life. You are issued high-tech military weaponry, and instructed to engage the infidel on the streets of New York City. You are on a mission - both a religious mission and a military mission -- to convert or kill Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, gays, and anyone who advocates the separation of church and state - especially moderate, mainstream Christians. Your mission is "to conduct physical and spiritual warfare"; all who resist must be taken out with extreme prejudice. You have never felt so powerful, so driven by a purpose: you are 13 years old. You are playing a real-time strategy video game whose creators are linked to the empire of mega-church pastor Rick Warren, best selling author of The Purpose Driven Life.

Wow, that is really something. It seems like there are always a few nuts that ruin the reputation of a large group of good people who believe in God. It is always the wack-jobs that get the headlines. Although I guess a video game based on obeying the laws and loving thy neighbor wouldn't sell quite as well.
Reports about the game have been very inaccurate. 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:

Layman dreams up a Whopper, accuses Talk to Action of serving it up, and then is made to eat his own big, greasy Whopper -- big time! Check it out at Talk to Action: Christian Cadre's Layman: 'A Whopper of Being Wrong'

Layman responded to Talk2Action's recent hit-piece on him. I'm amazed that Talk2Action is attempting to defend its original misinformation rather than honestly admitting that they exaggerated.
Layman's response is here:

Talk to Action did not exaggerate. But the Christian Cadre gang have been laying whoppers all over the blogosphere and saying they don't smell like whoppers.
This video is an endtimes indoctration tool disguised as entertainment. Few Americans will think it is a good thing to inculcate the notion that slaughtering New Yorkers who refuse to convert to your brand of Christianity is fair game.
Talk2Action didn't exaggerate? Not so. This sentence from the original article is a flat-out lie:
"The game rewards children for how effectively they role play the killing of those who resist becoming a born again Christian."
The game does NOT reward people for being effective at killing. It penalizes killing. Talk2Action is utterly dishonest on this point.
