Mainstream Baptists Encouraged to Boycott Left Behind Video Game
Mainstream Baptists are being encouraged to join Crosswalk America's boycott of the Left Behind: Eternal Forces video game.
Winning the game requires players to either convert or kill any character in the game that does not convert to fundamentalist Christianity. Advocates of church-state separation as well as Catholics, Jews, gays and Muslims are targeted for extermination.
Sunday morning at 11:00 CST Dr. Bruce Prescott I will interview Jonathan Hutson on the "Religious Talk" radio program. Jonathan Hutson first discovered the violent, sub-Christian nature of the Left Behind video game last May and exposed it in a series of blogs on the Talk to Action website. His expose led Rick Warren to disassociate himself from the project and two staff members to resign from his organization.
A podcast of the radio interview will be posted to the Mainstream Baptist podcast archive Sunday afternoon.
