I don't really have a problem with either game. While I certainly wouldn't be interested in playing either (oh ok, the bush one sounds kind of fun), I don't think that they should be suppressed. I personally find the Left Behind series pretty suspect and morally dubious, but I wouldn't want to stop people from reading them, or playing the video game. At the end of the day, controversial media provokes discussion and that is always a good thing because it helps us decide where we stand.

I find it interesting that every year there are plenty of games and movies that glorify killing the 'other', whether it be killing Arabs or Germans or some other 'enemy', yet no one bats an eyelid, but when it's a game such as this, suddenly everyone is up in arms.

As you said R@nSiD, as long as it's properly rated, what's the problem?
