Left Behind Games, infamously known for their Christian-themed PC games, have decided to expand their games to gaming consoles, announcing the launch of Bible Adventures for the Xbox 360 and the Wii.
The game is not a port of the old NES game by the same name but instead "a brand new game that happens to have the same title, this one set in their "Charlie the Church Mouse" series of educational ... [ read the full article ]

The new adventure will "educate young children by teaching them lies vital to early childhood corruption through Bible stories"
Fixed. How that kind of error slipped through we'll never know...

Amak grow up and accept other people and their beliefs, morality as we know it today has been defined through religion and the bible. As well as hospitals and universitys also started by Christianity.

As bad as the original Bible Adventures game was, I actually have very fond memories of it as a kid. No one had it or knew where to get it was the problem, so I didn't get a chance to play it very much. It was probably best that way because I never discovered how bad it truly was. Haha.
By the way, the original game was made by a different company I'm pretty darn sure. Hopefully this one will be better, eh?
Amak, your comment was insensitive and unnecessary.

I honestly don't get some of you would hate on a company for creating a religiously themed game for consoles. I think it is great that companies would make content for an obviously niche market like that. There is money to be made and not just with bible thumping fanatics.
There is a young man where I work who limits his media viewing to religious or educational type programs and the only music he listens to is gospel. He is really young, I would say early 20's. People like him are not unusual here where I live. He doesn't play video games and such simply because he is not interested in the content of most of them. I think he would buy games if they referenced material from the bible and if it wasn't complete garbage (from his point of view) he would probably tell people in his church about it and word of mouth is always good publicity.
I'm an atheist personally but I was raised baptist. I could see the appeal in something like that and probably would have appreciated any diversion instead of simply reading from the bible (outside of Sundays in church lol) as a leisure activity when I was younger.

Most of these posts just show how immature and close minded most of the members here at Afterdawn really are. I have never seen anyone bash someone for being a heathen but God forbid someone be a Christian or come out with a Christian themed game.

You summed it up. I'm shocked at some of these comments. I'm no bible thumper myself, but I am Christian, so please don't knock me for my beliefs.
I will admit though, there are people that go overboard with the "Praise Jesus" stuff, but doesn't that happen with anything in life? Just head over to the Xbox forum and see how many geeks are fired up over Modern Warfare 2!

You won't get flamed from me because i know you are doing it just to be a jerk about it. At least say something of intelligence. After 2,000 (1700 if u want to be uber technical)years of Christianity it is still here and science has failed to disprove it, in fact it has enhanced its truth to us.

yeah i know i've heard a crazier story though.
Poof! There was a man! he created the heaven and The Earth, that's good right? he also made 8 other planets but he doesn't talk about those. he also doesn't talk about black holes, Anti-matter, or other galaxys.
at one point he spoke to a guy called noah..
Noah got two of every species of animal on one boat. that's 100 Million animals on one boat. he then flooded the earth. fish didn't need to get on boat for obvious reasons, however both fresh water and salt water fish survived, that's pretty cool right?
you got me, it's from The Bible.
Which also states the world is about 5000 years old, and there was no such thing as dinosaurs. There's also a red man with pointy horns, who will punish you if you are bad.

I can tell you guys are onto something...Within the next few comments, I expect a complete and worldwide epiphany resolving all matters of religion, philosophy and the meaning of life.
Unfortunately, I have to go to bed now. I fully plan to get up a few minutes earlier than usual to read the follow-up on this thread before I decide if it will be worth going on with my business or if I should just go lay down and wait for the end...

2 each of the unclean animals.. 7 of the clean ones.. funny how that gets missed..
I prefer Bill Cosby's take on the god v noah story (we know noah was a Sumerian anyhow.. and the flood was just a bit larger than normal, just exceptional enough to write a story about.
These games are fine.. as long as they are just games, and sold as stories not truth.
Religion has no place in a modern world.

wtf??.. what is ignorant? .. The story of a flood and an ark is in the epic of gilgamesh..
as for religion.. kiss my arse.. it's all a pack of lies... dangerous lies used to justify war and genocide.
Now then.. you spout on about morality earlier.. WHERE is the morality in shoving YOUR pack of lies down peoples throats.. errmm.. nowhere I would suggest.
Have you READ the bible?.. because I have.. in detail.. the only way to defend yourself from religious bigotry is to know your enemy and their book better than they do themselves. I can tear your book of lies down too easily, so don't tempt me..
I'm going to report this whole topic now for breaking the "religion" rule..
No point trying to talk sense to the blikered bigots of the religious right.. y'know.. them who say "it's a sin" and "god told me" ..
wheres the straightjacket?? lies and damn lies.. that's all.. no more and never will be.
prop8 and lies mofo.. answer me that..

Actually, it was an intelligent comment. He corrected the common "2 of each animal" mistake, he acknowledged that it is possible for a large (not global) flood to happen, and also makes the good point that what is contained in the bible are stories. There is no way to prove the validity of absolutely anything in that book. That's why religion is left to faith and that's why it should never be presented as fact.

How disappointed I am. I thought I was going to read a solution to man's destiny this beautiful Monday morning. Instead, both sides of the religious divide bashing each other and calling each other uncivilized, ignorant, immature, close-minded and other names. Oh, well.
Video Games with religious themes...Sure, why not. You don't HAVE to buy them, borrow or steal them. They don't add or substract anything to anybody's knowledge or beliefs, just like Grand Theft Auto or Assassin's Creed don't either.
Let's move on.

But it can be disproved with logic, 100 million animals on one boat, with no food supply. - how big was this boat?

I think the QE2 has approximately 700 acres of space. At 1 square meter per animal, 100 million animals would require about 25,000 acres of space. It had to be a big boat...
If you believe in the literal accuracy of the bible, good for you. It seems to me that it would make life a lot easier to deal with. But, please, keep it quiet. It is an individual and private decision for me and I don't need your help at this time. I promise to call you if I change my mind.

Science has proven the theory of evolution but it hasnt proved the bible is fact,god exist or that even jesus was real when we find his skeleton then we can all believe he was real.science hasn't proved god is real.I think for someone to create 9 planets which revolve and with moons revoling around each planet he must of been a mad scientist or mathamatical genius.christianity,atheistism,holy karan,buddism & other religions shouldn't be pushed in our face by videogames its bad enough mormans go to people houses preaching about god.
