Left Behind Games Hushes Heathens

Left Behind Games has gone all Crusades on some bloggers, sending out boilerplate legal requests to remove “false and misleading” information about Left Behind: Eternal Forces from their websites. GamePolitics points out that Gameology, Daily Kos and Public Theologian have all received such letters, and their well-crafted responses seem put them on the side of least crazy. From Public Theologian: The Left Behind folks, still reeling from their disastrous launch last year, are gearing up for the release of their expansion pack next month… As an offensive strategy, they are trying to intimidate the Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders in the blogosphere who led the charge against this awful game…Christians should not sit silently while corporate money-grubbers make a buck out of perverting the Christian faith. Nor should we sit silently when a game is marketed to children promoting religious violence while American soldiers are dying overseas in the middle of a religious and ethnic civil war.

This is exciting stuff. Our RSS generally avoids religion like locusts, but we’re always up for a good freedom of speech/religion battle. Hit the jump for the full cheery letter from Left Behind Games, one we actually were sent seven, yes SEVEN copies of from the Left Behind folks.
