"my Christian game."
That sounds insane to me.
It's supposed to be a historically accurate game and it takes place in a Christian country and time. It doesn't mean only Christians can play it obviously, but what's wrong with expecting it to follow the norms of the time?
"a Christian game" would have sounded slightly more normal.
It's the possessive form and the expectation that a game has any sort of values is what strikes me as odd. Like it almost implies that playing a game, wasting your idle time, is somehow a Christian act, and that these developers are polluting what could otherwise be a "good experience."
It makes me wonder what most people get out of their own professed religion. Or if they read the Bible seriously.
I'm not seeing the problem, most games are avowedly secular, why is Christians wanting their own media an issue? People see LOTR and Narnia as Christian media and expect certain values in their adaptations, is that a problem?
What is "their own media?" Media inspired by the Bible? Media that repeats half truths back to them? Who owns this media? Who controls it? What's the long term outcome of this?
This should be pretty obvious. There is no such thing as "Christian media."
People are also retarded.
I don't know. Does it actually work?
You're a fool playing with forces larger than you. There are more ways for this to go wrong than right. I'm not sure why you'd try to create it.
