Friendly Atheist Left Behind: The Game

If you re ever bored, here s the game for you to play.
Via , Left Behind: Eternal Forces (based on the bestselling novels by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins) has been released and the reviews are in.
Don t mock Left Behind: Eternal Forces because it s a Christian game.

Mock it because it s a very bad game
Nobody has enough faith to endure a game with such a hokey story, terrible mission design, serious problems with the interface and graphics, and loads of crippling bugs. You are in control of the gospel singers and missionaries, and you must defeat the secularists, devils, and rock stars. By defeat, they mean you must convert them by raising their spirit level.

(Did anyone see The Simpsons when Bart played the Christian video game? When he thought he defeated a bad guy, Rod Flanders told him, No, you just winged him and made him a Unitarian. )
The game gets even better (from a what-the-hell-is-this?

point of view). Gender and race roles are laid bare:
Only males can become priestlike disciples and handyman builders, whereas only women can become nurses. Female units are actually designated as such and given ridiculous titles like Friend Woman and Medic Woman, a sexual distinction that unsurprisingly isn t extended to their male counterparts.

Finally, the game isn t politically correct when it comes to race, either, because a fair number of the bad guys bear Arab and African names. it s more than a little bizarre that you can sign on with the Antichrist in multiplayer battles.
It s hard to imagine Christians appreciating a game where you can join the forces of Satan, even if only in multiplayer.

If that wasn t enough, in the game teaches you about Evolution and the Bible, while trying to get you to buy (for real) Christian music.
It s available on PC which means it s probably downloadable online if you look for it.

Darn.

I was hoping the game would be a good one, so that someone would mod the game to include a play-as-the-devil single player mode. This statement is posted from an employee of Left Behind Games on behalf of Troy Lyndon, our Chief Executive Officer.
There has been in incredible amount of MISINFORMATION published in the media and in online blogs here and elsewhere.

Pacifist Christians and other groups are taking the game material out of context to support their own causes. There is NO “killing in the name of God” and NO “convert or die”. There are NO “negative portrayals of Muslims” and there are NO “points for killing”.

Please play the game demo for yourself (to at least level 5 of 40) to get an accurate perspective, or listen to what CREDIBLE unbiased experts are saying after reviewing the game at
Then, we’d love to hear your feedback as an informed player.
The reality is that we’re receiving reports everyday of how this game is positively affecting lives by all who play it.
