"Jesus likes Doom"

Well, he would if one of his butlers wasn't sure he wouldn't

You could have some great bonus levels.

"Stone the wh*re"
"Wash the leppers feet"

There was a feature slashdot.org did on christian games a while back. All basd on the Quake Engine, All involving slaying demons. So, erm, It's ok for Christians to kill them, bit not people playng Doom / Quake?

Hmmmm.

"Rev Bagley began his mission back in 1996, when investors turned down his first-person Christian shooter, Catechumen."

What!

There's loads out there:

One I found straight away whilst looking for the Doom-based Moses game on the SNES.

But just the

"first-person Christian shooter"

Whose side is he on?

I played some Bible games with some mates once for a laugh.
Craptacular.

It's like that Lucy said (see the comments), Final Fantasy is the more sort of game they'd be looking for, kind of teaching the values without the dogma.
Also, it wouldn't be so blatantly full of cheesy BS.

And painting a violent FPS with Christian iconery and a lack of gore doesn't make it any less violent, just gives people different standards on what they're allowed to kill! :-)

I was just about to post a link to this..

Anyway interesting. I'd like to play one. I'm sure the games could be used for indoctrination though

If it turns up on Xbox with online stuff I'll get it.

It'll be hilarious! "I smite thee thy ****ing christian sinner, feel the wrath of my rod of power like you did behind the vestry! Choke on my crucifix of jismness! I shall spank thee good my little bearded child of satan!"

Christians don't like Final Fantasy either.
Forest Fan had a little rave about it and LOTR - supporting the occult, apparently.

You know - stuff like magic spells bringing people back from the dead - obviously is work of the devil and ... er ... yeah, Jesus.

Good work there.
