Wow, what can I say, "
One thing many gamers will likely find disturbing about Left Behind, though, is the black-and-white polarization of good and evil portrayed. The faithful are good, and the undecided are (decidedly) bad or evil. The only way to accomplish anything positive in the game is to 'convert' nonbelievers into faithful believers, and the only alternative to this is outright killing them. The implications of this assessment could make for some mightily interesting blog-fodder, but I won't waste time rehashing the obvious."
Warcry puts it beautifly.
