Creator says it's taken from the book of Revelation

Here's a note I got from a friend with this link:
"This is a good way for Christian evangelicals to lose all credibility with, well, anyone who is not a Christian evangelical. If you want to promote the stereotypes of conservative Christians as hostile to the rest of the world, intolerant and dangerous: Mission Accomplished. I wonder if we'll be talking about this video game the next time some screwed up kid goes in an shoots up a high school."

I wonder how many people will be concerned over this game, but had no problem with how the "Left Behind" books made them look? I read the first book of the series, and I honestly don't think that anything -- including this game -- could make me think less of "Left Behind" fans.

Embarassing, apalling, disturbing! Again, because there are just millions and millions of Christians of all stripes out there, and because the American free-for-all arena of theological market has mushroomed with the media revolution, you are just going to get horribly misinterpreted stuff like the Left Behind series –and game.

It's not serious, well-exegeted Scriptural fare, but pop, $-generating, schlock. Too bad, because it plays into the hands of Christ’s detractors and pollutes the apologetic waters. But, what hasn’t been caricatured and corrupted today by the mass media reduction machine. Look Mommy, I Shrunk the Church. Sorry, folks
