PlayStations of the Cross

theodp writes "Is there a place amid the witches, warlocks and diabolical monsters for Christian video games? The NY Times reports companies like Brethren Entertainment ('Entertaining for Eternity'), Digital Praise ('Glorifying God Through Interactive Media'), and N'Lightning believe that there is a market in faith-based video games. If the idea of Christian first-person shooters seems unlikely, so too did the idea of Christian pop music, which accounted for 7% of the total pop-music market and sold 43+ million albums last year."

I know it's not realistic though, that would never happen in real life.

Yeah, in real life they'd plunder your house, rape your wife and daughter, kill your grandparents and then ask you to convert, because they are so nice people and JC tells you to forgive them. At least that's how the crusaders did it in the middle east.

This article was trollbait from the get-go. Considering the animosity towards people of faith here on slashdot, where any mention of religion or God is sure to bring out the worst in this crowd, this article was just asking for trouble. I think the editors wanted to have some fun at the expense of believers today, and so threw a piece of red meat to the crowd...

Yeah, the editors are out to get you. Btw, so is the Boogeyman, Evil Santa, and the minions of Wario. Paranoid much?

In all seriousness, this type of "look at how persecuted I am" routine is what really hurts your public image.

Just what the world needs... A generation of brainwashed children who can't tell reality from fantasy (because you KNOW they arn't responsible for shooting up the schools.. it's the video games!), to know what to do with the obscure tools on their Freedom nee Swiss Amy Knives!

I for one, am buying a nut-cup at the earliest opportunity.
