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.

"It's absurd," said the video critic. "You can be the Christians blowing away the infidels, and if that doesn't hit your hot button, you can be the Antichrist blowing away all the Christians."LOL. Don't want to miss out on that lucrative anti-Christian market.

Sounds fun. But maybe that's just my persuasion...

Of course it sounds fun. Its a GTA rip off. It's ust scary that its a marketing scheme by a Christian fascist.

Do you mean a Protestant Theocracy?

How does this fit in line with "Thou shalt not kill"??? Are they actually justifying breaking the first commandment?

I bet his 'religious' side is just a sham to get money.

WindWip,

That's not the whole commandment.

Thou shalt not kill.*


*Unless it is dictated by God and in an effort to restore God's name to hethen countries and destroy all those who oppose his might.

Gotta read the fine print!

hahaha, I actually looked it up to make sure I wasn't completely off my rocker - I didn't realize that God put that commandment all the way down at #6. Valuing life is kinda low on his list of priorities.

I bet his 'religious' side is just a sham to get money.I think it's more sophisticated than just that. And quite frankly, it's not a safe bet: I wouldn't invest in it.

Rather, I think this is one step in a broader attempt to glamorise christainity and put it in the mainstream, as were the Left Behind books and films.

Using Children as 'God's Army'

By Kirsten A. Powers, The American Prospect. Posted June 12, 2006.

A new documentary chronicles a summer camp where children, as young as six, are trained to become devout Christian soldiers.

Gandhi once said if Christians lived according to their faith, there would be no Hindus left in India. He knew how powerful the fundamental tenets of Christianity -- fighting poverty, caring for the least among us, loving your enemies, eschewing materialism and embracing humility -- could be if everyone who called themselves a Christian truly followed them.

The new documentary, Jesus Camp, which chronicles a North Dakota summer camp where kids as young as 6 are taught to become dedicated Christian soldiers in "God's army," is an illustration of this sentiment in the extreme.

The film, by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady, the duo who also directed the critically-acclaimed The Boys of Baraka, opened to an appreciative and flabbergasted audience at the 2006 TriBeca Film Festival, where it received the Special Jury Award. The directors skillfully captured the daily interactions of a world that would be foreign to most viewers: children speaking in tongues and talking of being "born again" at age 5.

The star of the film is Pastor Becky Fischer, who explains the startling mission of her "Kids on Fire" camp: "I want young people to be as committed to laying down their lives for the Gospel as they are in Pakistan." At the camp, the children are asked: "How many of you want to be those who will give up your life for Jesus?" Little hands shoot up from every direction. They are told: "We have to break the power of the enemy over the government." At one point, Becky yells: "This means war! Are you a part of it or not?" More little hands.

The directors take us into the homes of the children, where we see them "pledge allegiance to the Christian flag" and play a video game called "Creation Adventure" that debunks evolution. A mother helps her children with homework and informs them that, "Global warming is not going to happen. Science doesn't prove anything."

The film takes us back to the camp, where the children are gathered for their daily teaching. Suddenly, a camp counselor places a life-size cardboard cutout before the group. No, it's not Jesus. It's George Bush. Clapping erupts and Becky encourages them to "say hello to the President." Becky claims that "President Bush has added credibility to being a Christian."

Islamics kill and maim everyday all over the globe but somebody always says that the Christians are just as bad and this is an attempt to paint the Christians with the same brush as the Islamics live by.

It ain't the same at all.

If, there were no religions, it would be some other type of organizations where man, in his ignorance, would pit one against another for imaginary ideals.

The worst atrocities of the 20th century were arguably committed by Stalin and were not at all religious in nature.

The crimes of one doesn't justify the crimes of another. We can only deal with todays crimes not historys crimes.

================================================== ==
The above statements were not an attempt to justify. Only statements to point out one of the, seemingly-unavoidable, faults of humans.

How would one attempt to deal with todays crimes without lessons of history? Today, is tomorrows history.

We really have learned nothing. History has shown me that we do not truly deal with social problems, only redirect them.

Good Job Capt. miss the obvious...

I was pointing out that there are those 'christians' who wish to be just like those 'islamics' when in reality neither are christians or islamics but opportunistic power-mongers weilding religion ass a tool.
