While John Howard Yoder may have written the Politics of Jesus, his namesake and our Prime Minister, John Howard, is pushing for a more Christian society in Australia. Add to this a newly elected leader of the opposition who declares it to be his duty to bring his faith to politics, and we are ripe for revivalism, evangelism and fundamentalism.

I hope we never reach the extremism that could produce Left Behind: Eternal Forces..not the Left Behind book series…the PC game. Yep, that’s right, if you’re choosing games for your YA collection, you can now select one with an aim to hold hands and pray, build cafes and banks for your followers and generally smite the heck out of non-believers with “spirit balls” while you wait through seven years of plagues for Christ to return.

The Laughing Librarian has a link to this review from Beta Game Revolution, Left Behind: Eternal Forces. The review is a hoot, although may offend some Christians…it is witty and gives a thorough description of the game (it rated it an “F” by the way).
