    What would you think if there were a new video game in which the object was to kill as many Jews as possible?  How about if the Klan came out with a video game where you got points for killing all the black and Latino characters?

    Do you suppose there might be a teensy bit of outrage if prominent Muslims began marketing a video game built around the mass slaughter of Christians?

    Well, then.

    What to make of this new video game, rooted directly in the marketing empire of a prominent, best-selling, "respectable" pastor of an American megachurch, whose objective is reportedly the killing or conversion of all non-members of the sect -- Catholics, Jews, mainstream Protestant, Muslims, Flying Spaghetti Monsterists, you name it -- with the help of military weapons?

    When Jesus gave the Sermon On The Mount, I don't recall him whipping out a Glock 18 and mowing down everyone who disagreed.

    Maybe I missed something.
