Bible Adventures coming to Wii, Xbox 360 from Left Behind

david, don't use retarded straw man arguments, he didn't say "will stop ALL the violence in the world" or even imply it.

And you can't deny that religion has directly caused a lot of violence and misery, and a thousand times that indirectly.

I agree, I'm about as far from religious as they come, but some of these antagonistic comments are way out of line.

Grow up, kids.

Wow. Its like i finally met grown people on the internet. If only you'd had been the first one to comment.

Nope, it is the religious people who need to grow up, and start thinking instead of acting like little children.

There is no sky god who has a plan for you to execute. Grow up, and take control of your own life.

@PR0F3TA-

Not all atheists are "sarcastic sounding douche bags." And comments like these aren't helping.

@Dreaded Fear: I guess if those religious folks "grow up" they'll realize that real men ridicule other men's ideologies, am I right?

Seriously though, if you're secretly trying to demonstrate that being closed-minded, intolerant, and obnoxious about your beliefs has nothing to do with religion, you're doing a great job of it.

There is nothing intolerant about making observations of people who believe in magic.

I think it is quite intolerant that the religious don't believe in science, even with the incredible amount of evidence.

No point arguing with those who have been brainwashed.

@Dreaded Fear

So what about people like me who work for their church and highly value science and the contributions of science to humanity? Or my uncle who is both an ordained lay minister and chemical biologist for sanofi-aventis? Or my cousin who is an ordained lay minister and a student at Wisconsin getting his Ph. D. in analytical chemistry? Or my alma mater, a Christian-sponsored school that just spent $10M on renovating their science building to teach the latest discoveries in science without a Bible to "fact check" the scientific findings.

Sure, Christianity (and other religions) has caused a lot of violence in the world, and there is no excuse for it. Hatred and bigotry still happens today. While it was slavery in America in the yesteryear, now it's anti-homosexuality that gets all the headlines and very prominent, public "Christian" figures get the spotlight to hate on homosexuals. While they might be living out their own modern day "crusade" against homosexuality and other "abominations", smaller groups of Christians encourage people to think about their religion, challenge the Bible and - here it comes - use reason to actually identify why they believe some things (it just might be possible to mix the two - reason and "magic").

I'm glad to belong to a church that doesn't just say the Bible is the literal, infallible word of God. I prefer the scholarly-critical approach to studying the Bible to help me understand humanity and the divine as portrayed in that time, using extra-Biblical sources (Greek, Hebrew, Egyptian, etc) to fact check. For some, that seriously ruins their faith, but for me it helps me secure my faith.

My belief is that reason and religion - healthy, respectful, open-minded, patient and understanding religion - can work together in tandem to better humanity.

Oh yea, and I'll be sarcastic as the next guy on occasion.

I'm convinced that Dreaded Fear was touched by his dad the priest, therefore HATES religion.. Just an observation...

I don't think anyone is defending the game. I see a lot of immature folks using the topic to antagonize other users for their personal beliefs. I'm an atheist myself, but I don't think that's right, regardless of what side you're on.

This is a video game blog, not a theology forum.

I agree wholeheartedly, but you gotta acknowledge that there are at least a FEW people on this thread offering a voice of reason.

Oh, fuck you.

Great response, thanks for not argue the facts,and if you do.. please remember that you are entitle to your own opinions but not your own facts.
