I think I've found religion.  I've always entertained some doubts about organized Christianity, but any religion that will give me an assault rifle and an armed helicopter, and then send me off to smite the ungodly in the streets of New York is OK in my book.

In other news, I think that the Left Behind: Eternal Forces Real Time Strategy game may suffer just a bit from mixed messages.

(Thanks to aphrodeia for reminding me of this, and for ABC for reporting on it.  You can see the ABC video of the demo here)

On the bright side, you can choose to play as the Antichrist.

So, after the Rapture happens, when the UN becomes the dictatorial Satanic one-world government we all knew it was all along and Good True American Bible-Believing Christians are being persecuted just like they are in America today!!1!, and the legions of the Antichrist draft the rest of us in to join their evil ungodly campaign of evil ungodliness - then we'll all have combat training already!

...and, er, that's about the third or fourth identical "but it's not like that!" message I've seen left on a post relating in some way to the game.

It's a militaristic, paranoid, theologically insipid action game based on a series of militaristic, paranoid, theologically insipid novels. What is it about this that's worth defending?

I'd go for it if they can make blowing shit up fun. I've always wanted to tear down New York (or pieces thereof).
