The Purpose Driven Life Takers

Christian fundamentalist Tim LaHaye’s series of “Left Behind” books have been made into a “Grand Theft Auto"-style video game. Preview: the main character says “praise the lord” after blowing away a heathen.

Let’s see: We’ve got a deputy Undersecretary for Defense who sees the War on Terror as a fight against Judeo-Christians and Satan; a president who has called the war on Terror a “crusade,” and now, video game makers encouraging pre-teens to kill heathens.
It’s those are the people being saved, Leave Me Behind.
L.A. Times:
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
As the video game industry gathers at the Los Angeles Convention Center this week for the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo, a devout group of publishers is praying for a direct strike on their elusive target: the eternal souls of game players.
One game, “Left Behind: Eternal Forces,” which debuts today at the expo, features plenty of biblical smiting, albeit with high-tech weaponry as players battle the forces of the Antichrist in a smoldering world approaching Armageddon.
The creators hope the game packs enough action to appeal to a generation of kids reared on such titles as “Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas” and subtly coax them to consider their own spirituality.

In this screenshot from the video game “Left Behind: Eternal Forces” the main character takes out the forces of the anti-Christ--all in a days work for a god-fearing Christian.
