"Imagine: you are a foot soldier in a paramilitary group whose purpose is to remake America as a Christian theocracy, and establish its worldly vision of the dominion of Christ over all aspects of life. You are issued high-tech military weaponry, and instructed to engage the infidel on the streets of New York City. You are on a mission - both a religious mission and a military mission -- to convert or kill Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, gays, and anyone who advocates the separation of church and state - especially moderate, mainstream Christians.
Your mission is "to conduct physical and spiritual warfare"; all who resist must be taken out with extreme prejudice. You have never felt so powerful, so driven by a purpose: you are 13 years old. You are playing a real-time strategy video game whose creators are linked to the empire of mega-church pastor Rick Warren, best selling author of The Purpose Driven Life
These Jesus freaks can talk about God's love all they want, but this is their real agenda. Switch a couple nouns around and you could have something written by Fundamentalist Muslims. They think this video game is how they're gonna recruit and indoctrinate their 'Christian soldiers'. Maybe it's time to put the christo-fundies in the 'them' category in the 'war on terra'. If you're gonna use the term 'infidel' to describe me, I'm gonna act like one towards you. From now on, anyone who preaches Jesus to me is gonna get put on their ass. When you paint a theoretical target on my back, you don't think I'm gonna let you shoot at me, do ya? Take your best shot, but I'm gonna shoot back. I've just about had it with you fucking people.
