Convert or die

A new religious wars video game is going on the market to teach our evangelical youth that if you can't convert the heathens to your view of Christianity, you need to exterminate them.

The countdown to the launch of Left Behind: Eternal Forces into minds of evangelical youth to prepare them for the coming religious war, is now underway.

While many will no doubt play the new video game, like any other game, others in the game's target market will unwittingly experience an indoctrination in the idea that the failure to convert the targets of religious prostylitization justifies killing them.

Nevertheless, the game's release is tied to the Christmas shopping season, suggesting that the evangelical Christian commercial marketplace is being harnessed to drive a dangerous form of Christian supremacism: Dangerous to religious minorities, as well as members of incorrect sects. Arguably, it undermines and prepares for aggression against constitutional democracy itself, and foundational ideas of religious equality under the law. [emphasis added by Walldon]

I guess the next time the Jehova's Witnesses come sidling up to my door, I'm going to get my gun out of the closet.

Oops, I don't own a gun.
