There are 100's of violent ideo games out there. I guess Grand Theft Auto is OK to play because it doesn't involve religion yet this same should be banned because it has a religious theme.

What is the purpose of this article aside from bashing religion? How about talking about other games like Gran Theft Auto or DOOM that are much more violent than this game.

why is the middle east mentioned in this video? the game is about crazy christians in America, not the radicals in the Middle East.

What this should say is that everyplace has its radicals, but some get more attention than others.

i still thought it was funny.

I must miss a sense of humour badly. I don't see what's funny in this video! Too bad.
