Wow! The Left Behind game is worse than I thought

Here is a report from someone who actually played the game, so this cannot be considered rumormongering:

How can you tell who the bad guys are?

They cuss.

No, seriously.

No, seriously.

What do you mean?

Each character has special traits and abilities. The Christians all have "Pray" under their special ability section. Like, there's a woman who's the Worship Leader, and her special abilities are "Pray, Crowd Worship" When you equip her with "music" and "public speaking" training, she gets the ability to "positively rivet the audience nearby."

Awesome. But she doesn't cuss.

No. Bad guys have "Swearing" as their special abilities. All of them. For example, non-Christian musicians get special abilties "Swear, Sing" or "Swear, Play", or -- for the Level 3 Rock Star -- "Swear, Perform Concert" And she wears a scanty blouse-thing, which should tip you off that she's fixin' to swear.

ALL the bad guys have "swear" as their special ability?

Yes. It's pretty realistic of the end-times, when cussing will increase ten-fold. The Gangster bad guy has "Swear, Rumble", the soldier has "Swear, Explosive Bullets" and thief, curiously, has "Swear, Pickpocket, Poison", which is an awesome name for the next Shaun Groves CD, in my opinion.

Swear, Pickpocket, Poison?

Swear, Pickpocket, Poison.
Sometimes it's really embarrassing being a Christian.

BTW, go read this post written by the same blogger, he is really funny and this story made me laugh so hard I cried.
