'Convert or die' game divides Christians / Some ask Wal-Mart to drop Left Behind

Liberal and progressive Christian groups say a new computer game in which players must either convert or kill non-Christians is the wrong gift to give this holiday season and that Wal-Mart, a major video game retailer, should yank it off its shelves.

They are up in arms over the covert or kill aspect of the game. Interesting how it's states that liberal and progressive Christians oppose the game, but doesn't mention conservative or fundamentalist.

In Left Behind, set in perfectly apocalyptic New York City, the Antichrist is personified by fictional Romanian Nicolae Carpathia, secretary-general of the United Nations and a People magazine "Sexiest Man Alive."

Players can choose to join the Antichrist's team, but of course they can never win on Carpathia's side. The enemy team includes fictional rock stars and folks with Muslim-sounding names, while the righteous include gospel singers, missionaries, healers and medics. Every character comes with a life story.

They aren't trying to promote religious prejudice, right.

This game is based off of the book series by Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye which is currently quite popular among teens.

Leave the damn thing on the shelves. Let consumers decide.

The media is a bunch of controversy whores.
"Reporters" have no redeeming qualities.
