beyond the facts i could be classed as an atheist extremist this makes me weep. As a nation (United Kingdom) that is 20% totally atheist, maybe more this wiki page has lots of differing numbers, this move is just another step back in getting rid of the lies.

See, a Christian themed game wouldn't be a bad idea... if it were any good. Unfortunately, like most Christian themed movies, they look very cheesy.
A religion that's suppost to be about peace, love, and compassion wanting to do business with a company that ruthlessly crushes any attempts to organize labor, manipulates timecards and mistreats employees while the company itself deals only in cheaply made products made in China by an exploited and oppressed workforce.
It's a game that is some how tenuously connected to the tenets of the religion in question. They've run the gamut from bible focused platformers on the NES to this, an RTS where you lead aHakazaba said:
In case you're wondering: I read the wiki plot synopsis, and the stuff in strikes is supposed to be sarcastic.
