Good thing they named themselves the International Christian Police Fellowship, otherwise I wouldn't take them seriously.
how many more years until people completely stop placing blame of violence on video games, and move to the next thing?
so its okay for books, and film, and television to portray the police as the enemy but when videogames do it its wrong?
also any police officer who belives games cause crime should be fired.

Duh .... violence isn't caused by videogames. It's caused by 3D movies, that extra 'D' confounds the brain and angrys up the blood.

It would be hilarious if they succeeded in getting The Drakness 2 banned only for a WitchBlade game to come out in its place.
these types of christians make the rest of us look bad.
we're not all idiots who take the bible as fact.

It's one thing to post an article about law enforcement getting upset about an upcoming game. But to finish it off with an ignorant, blatantly offensive comment is not necessarily and not acceptable. And you were the one to go on a rant about gaming journalists posting articles that do not have to do with games...you're doing the same thing by hiding your arrogance distaste for religious groups in your articles.
This is not the first time...

Jim, I'm a christian, and I find your jokes funny. Please continue.
Also, they could ban this. I'd just read the COMIC BOOK SERIES IT WAS BASED OFF OF.

Find marginal sidegroup that happens to view itself as Christian. Make snide remarks about the religion as a whole.
Thanks for another original article.

Yes, the Darkness games paint cops as evil... not all the hundreds of movies, books, tv shows, music, and other video games that have crooked cops...
Or you know... real fucking life where cops are being busted for being crooked.

"What a man soweth, that shall he also reap!" read the letter, quoting Galatians 6:7 from the Bible and adding an exclamation point for emphasis.
"There are no police officers in the game," replied 2K.
lmao. Well I suppose it's case closed?

tentacles coming out of some guys back incite real-world crimes?!
"International Christian Police Fellowship"? the only world police i know is Interpol... and America.

"Not sure I'd want them handling any case I was involved in."
I would assume the judicial system would take care of that, Jim.
Other than that, I don't get the "Christian" angle you're taking with this.
This sounds more like cops not wanted to be portrayed as "pigs". Yeah, good luck with that.
And the punch line in the original article is just awesome.

Jim, that last paragraph made me want to give you a hug! Always makes me laugh these religious groups, how many people have been killed as a result of video games; very few, how many people have been killed because of religion, 1000's. Hypocrites that's all they are.
Being that these groups seem to originate from Germany and Switzerland where there is already a big anti-violence in media enviroment, this isn't surprising.
That being said, I never understand why people get so defensive and try to take the opposite extreme in these cases and pretend that violent games have absolutely no effect at all whatsoever on anyone. After all, we do have ESRB, PEGI etc to distinguish appropriateness of content. Logic dictates that your social environment has an affect on your behavior. Playing GTA once isn't going to make you a killer, but playing a whole whole lot might just push you a little closer. I don't think any of these people would tell you that violent movies are a great thing either. They just picked one thing to focus on.
Also, that last paragraph was a bullshit comment and was purely offensive and inflammatory.

"Christian law enforcement group" is a misleading label, man. These groups can call themselves "police" this or that all they want, they are not law enforcement groups. They are just endearing little sods who want to give their lives purpose and embark on little crusades like this one. My hat goes off to them; they are very cute peoples and I hope they succeed, just to see what happens.
Their faith is of no concern to me, everyone has a right to be whatever they want to be. The shame of it is that they think video games cause violent behavior.
To all the people getting riled up at Jim's last comment. Are you insinuating that Christian's DON'T believe in things without evidence? If the answer is yes than I'm more than happy to see your evidence. Otherwise, grow a sense of humour.

Seeing that religion has been around since the dawn of civilization, while videogames have existed for, what, 35 years (?), there's only one appropriate response to that pie chart:
Well, DUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! While not compare videogames to alcohol, while at it?
Besides, it's missing the cross-section.

"To all the people getting riled up at Jim's last comment. Are you insinuating that Christian's DON'T believe in things without evidence?"
That's not at ALL what they are insinuating; faith is faith. Everyone believes things without evidence, some are just more picky on where to place the threshold.
The problem people have is that Jim is insinuating a policeman who is Christian is more inclined to "misjudge". That's insulting to both Christians AND Policemen, the targets of the joke.
I get it, but whiteknighting Jim is pointless here; he woudn't have made the joke if he didn't expect the reaction it got.

"Keep writing flamebait articles slamming Christianity, Jim. God has your grave perfectly prepared for you..."
As a Christan, you comment insults me more than anythin Jim has ever written.
This kind of behavior is exactly the reason people give us a bad image. Thanks for making God look like a jackass prick.

I wish people would stop creating groups and hiding behind their religions as defence. As a "Christian" myself, I feel ashamed that there are people like these who call for actions such as this. Religion is a gift, but then you have idiots like these who manipulate it. And then the athiests/other religions come in, blast Christianity for stupid things like this when all the blame should go to the group. It's merely a scapegoat.
@el conrado
You wanna debate hemaneutics and eschatology with me?You have no clue, bro. Go try and get an education ABOUT God before you start slamming ppl who tell the truth!

... and now the comments are no longer about the story, but about Jim... again. Such a fucking ego on this kid.
When asked for comment, the representative of the International Discordian Police Fellowship took a giant bong hit and made a "thumbs up" gesture.
And now it turns into WWE slams.
But "commanderpoopypants"... no, I don't want to debate you on words you just looked up on google.
I hate getting into religious things with people, because its dumb, but I will say that making assumptions on what God's plans are for certain people makes you look like a fool.

Jim, why do you always feel the need to bash Christianity or religion period? I go to a video game website to get video game news. Not to be insulted. You make it such a big part of your stories to try and offend someone and I understand that's your thing. But come on now. It's getting old and repetitive and it makes you sound ignorant. The story is about a small sect of crazy Christians who don't speak for Christianity as a whole. I don't hate or bash on anyone based on religion, race, gay or straight, or anything. It's not right and it makes you no better than anyone else.
@CommanderPoopypants
...right, because going about telling your opponents that your God is reading their graves is how you "defend the faith". Preach on, brother Phelps.
Troll.

Hyaku:Your chart is heavily biased, and therefore wrong. Religion has been in existence for millenia, games have been around for a few decades.
