Just wondering if anyone plans on playing this game when it comes out. Some say it's blasphemous.

I probably won't play it... but not because it's blasphemous.

I played Diablo long long ago, and it was blasphemous too. I think. Maybe not this bad though...

It doesn't look blasphemous. How to blaspheme the holy spirit is not widely known. If you google search it you will get several roughly useless answers, including an official Wikipedia position, an official Billy Graham position, and official Got Answers position and so forth. All are different and don't address the issue well. I don't think that most people would even grasp the concept without additional background, and I don't think a non Jew can blaspheme the Holy Spirit necessarily. Maybe? Its a tricky subject. Anyways its just a video game.

Well, I really enjoyed Populous, in which you were God of an entire planet.

And I've played all of the Diablo games, from #1 to the latest.

But this one looks like it's mostly hype. I'll wait for reviews.

Playing a Magic Jew, in ancient Palestine? Could be interesting. What magic powers do you get, and can you add to your powers as the game progresses? Since Jesus was known to eschew owing anything, you can't be adding weapons. And Jesus was a pacifist-- except that one time, when he borrowed a bull whip and beat the snockers out of capitalists.
