You may be completely correct - I have not played the game myself, nor do I intend to, but I welcome the opinions of anyone who has played it. However, I have heard that it does have quite a bit of violence involved (as do many secular games), and that the primary point of the game is to convert non-believers. I do not take issue with anyone of faith attempting to spread their word in an appropriate setting using appropriate behavior, logic, and rational arguments. I do take issue with those that would use an arm of our government, which is supposed to be secular at best, and non-denominational at worst, to spread the word of only one faith, since our government is supposed to represent all of us, of all faiths, including atheists. So that's what has me upset - not the violence, but the extraordinary length over which the line between Church and State has been crossed.

So that’s what has me upset - not the violence, but the extraordinary length over which the line between Church and State has been crossed.

It's a blog entry, and a very dishonest one at that. Even the Anti-Defamation League - no friend to evangelical Christians - agrees that "convert or kill" is not a part of the game.
