They're really gone too far this time. Not long ago, I wrote here on RK about an outrageous computer game based upon the Lahaye/Jenkins "Left Behind" series.
The game is set on the streets of New York. Players get "soul points" for killing non-believers and infidels.
Last week, after an investigation spurred by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, the Pentagon abruptly announced that it would not be delivering "freedom packages" to our soldiers in Iraq, as it had originally intended. What were the packages to contain? Not body armor or home-baked cookies. Rather, they held Bibles, proselytizing material in English and Arabic and the apocalyptic computer game "Left Behind: Eternal Forces" (derived from the series of post-Rapture novels), in which "soldiers for Christ" hunt down enemies who look suspiciously like U.N. peacekeepers.
Here's the LA Times article.
