If you are stupid enough to attack the police just because you saw a cop get run over in GTA or some other game, then goodbye to your stupid dead ass. One less idiot in the world.
@commanderfucknuggetstfu you stupid ass troll. Your ignorant and insulting comments in the name of "God" make me feel like an idiot believing in him. This is truth so take it and shove it up your tight brown eye.
@CommanderPoopypants
How do you know so much about what God knows and HIS plans for others. I think you're getting a little big for your britches. You should study your faith more and learn some humility. God doesn't judge us til we're dead so what gives you the right?

You tell me that im wrong and then you make a statement about as if its true about God's judgement. God has already esrablished who is the elect and who is not, except judgement is delayed until end of time as we know it.

These comments have converted this non-believer. Now I am convinced of the truth.
No matter what I previously thought,there really should be an HD sequel to Spiritual Warfare that features defending one's beliefs from snarky commentators on the Internet wheresoever they are found.
Hellfire is nothing compared to the heat from flaming posts (the brilliance of which could easily banish the Darkness without the need for any protests).
Someone needs to consult a prophet to see if another game in the series is in God's game plan.

@CommanderPoopypants,
Here's a mind-fuck for you, if God is real why does he let trolls, troll like trolls about God being Godly like a God?

If the police groups didn't name themselves as christian, would Jim post the article? How does adding "christian" to a group name change a police group's view that they don't want to be targets in a videogame? Especially with the London riots concurrently happening at the time of this statement? Crackdown was banned in Germany because you could kill policemen.
Also everyone believes in stuff without evidence. It's called faith and everybody lives by a philosophy which there is no absolute proof. Even a staunch materialist would have to cede that physical laws happen "because they just do". No need to single out a group you don't like, that's prejudicial and unprofessional.

Im not gonna use funky prose ;), but also why does He not strike down those who oppose Him? Nearly every person God used for his good was a murderer...

You don't seem to have too many friendly comments in your favor today. But preach on, brother, don't let the flames die.

"Because, as always, it's obvious that videogames are the reason why anything bad has happened, ever. Nobody's ever done something bad because of what they gleaned from the Bible, right?"
I loved that part of the article. I would love to hear the response of one of those police officers to that statement.

@El Conrado: I just wanted to point out that though everyone believes something, not everyone believes things without evidence. Some people, those who believe in evolution without necessarily understanding it well, for instance, at least differ to the experts in a practice that involves peer review, revision, and a foundation that could lead to it being disproven easily should contrary evidence exist.
Faith without evidence or any particular method for obtaining evidence is no different than believing unicorns, leprecauns, thor, etc.. Not all beliefs are made equal. I think that was the point that was being made by Jim's statement. The founding logic of any Abrahamic religions (or hindu, sikhism, no exceptions) are based on fairy tale stories much like those that one could use to support believing in unicorns.
Policemen who are Christian ARE more inclined to misjudge. The practice of believing in deities in and of itself is an indication of a person's being able to make decisions based on assertions and gut feelings while not really adhering to any practice of critical thinking.
I want to emphasize that I am not trying to offend or start a huge argument, I just wanted to distinguish that belief is not black and white, not all equal in value and virtue. Believing that properties of gravity will certainly keep me rooted to my floor is not the same as believing in a myth.

Ur right! It seems that our trusted reviews editor deems it necessary to include games, AND what "christians" think about those games! Its ok, I was waay more anti-Christian than anyone on this site before Christ quickened me. Really, if you wouldve known me before that, youd see that something truly miraculous happened to change such a god-hater into a true believer. Im certainly not sinless, nor is ANY Christian- and we wont be until the end of our lives. Dont judge a Christian by his behavior, judge Christ by what He has done. Love u guys!

I don't know, why don't we ask the self-identified Christian police, who also saw fit to include a Bible quote in their letter?
I did not identify these people are Christian. They did. The fact they did so is not an indictment of their faith, more a wonderful opportunity to cite their hypocrisy.
And yes, I still would have posted this article if they weren't self-identified as Christians, just like I posted the one about unaligned police wanting to ban Call of Juarez. So there.

Holy wow, they got that message out right in the nick of time. I was just about to use my devil powers to terrorize a shopping mall. GG christians!
Nothing is more unjust, however common, than to charge with hypocrisy him that expresses zeal for those virtues which he neglects to practice; since he may be sincerely convinced of the advantages of conquering his passions, without having yet obtained the victory, as a man may be confident of the advantages of a voyage, or a journey, without having courage or industry to undertake it, and may honestly recommend to others, those attempts which he neglects himself.

Going back to one of your earlier comments: no, the universe is not evidence of a creator. Just because something is so complex that you (or, hell, even scientist around the world) don't completely understand it YET, it doesn't mean that God had anything to do it. By arguing that, you're pushing your God into the margins, because we can already explain some of the things in the universe without God just fine. If someone is going to turn me into a believer, they have to prove that God did it all, not just some of these things. Otherwise, what's the point in calling him God?
Just thought I'd point out your fallacy, but I doubt you'll care. You only seem to worry about continuing your crusade against those who don't agree with you. If I may, I'd like to know how you think that's being a good Christian.

Oh, those good folk. Maybe I should call them up and ask if they would like to have a stone throwing session at tee homosexials later.
It's amazing that idiots around the world still try they can force their stupids ideas upon us and ban our choice of entertainment.
I have no respect for these morons, don't care much if they think they have good intentions beacuse they obviously never even played a video game and tried to enjoy it. So they are probably the least qualified persons in the world to make such decisions anyways.

If you believe that, then you believe things without evidence.
Sorry, but your argument for "reason" is old, and has been broken appart many times in history by people 10 times smarter than me.
Everyone has blind faith, no exceptions.

You start your argument about my "fallacy" by stating that God did not create the universe. You then proceed to say that nobody knows. Im sorry, but you are included in YOUR group that doesnt know! Have you ever wondered why its called 'universe'? A single spoken sentence is the definition of 'universe'.

Did you even bother reading my entire comment, or did you just quit reading after I said scientists don't understand everything, thinking you had me? I didn't say that God didn't create the universe, I only said that not knowing the answer to something is not automatically evidence that God did it, a notion which you seem to believe.
Seriously, if you're going to make the case for your religion, you have to do better than "This is complex. God must have done it!"

You've contradicted your argument in both of your comments! So you believe God created the universe? Whats included in the term universe? You? Me? Evil? Your statement is correct if you think God created the universe, however, God doesnt create evil. He ALLOWS it. Does God create the shirt on your back? Ultimately he does, because he created the atoms that make up everything that we manipulate, matter. So you might want to rethink about what He really is responsible for creating lol

"...frankly more concerned that there are groups of police officers who identify themselves through the fact that they believe in things without needing any evidence."
Perfect. Always makes me smile when people aren't afraid to call bullshit on religion.
I love you, science.

Please, work on your reading comprehension skills, because all this conversation has been is me telling you that I didn't say what you claim I did. Once again, here goes: I didn't say that I believe God created the universe. Why does everything have to be all or nothing with you? Why do I have to either be Christian or Atheist about the whole thing? Why can't I be agnostic about the creation of the universe and simply say "I don't know."?
Furthermore, why would I want to believe in a God who can stop evil but chooses to allow it anyway? You tell me why an entity as terrible as him, the one who allows all of the suffering in the world to happen when he has the power to stop it, deserves my worship? Or should I just not worry about it and just blindly follow him, like you seem to be content doing?

@El Conrado:
So let me get this straight, you're asserting that there is as much reason to believe in the existence of unicorns as there is reason to believe that gravity will continue to keep us falling towards the earth?
I am not sure how you can say that 'reason' - as in the word defined by forming conclusions, judgments, or inferences from facts or premises - is a word requiring a belief that we form conclusions, judgments, or inferences from facts or premises. The argument for reason has never been broken apart. If we can not base what we know on observable, empirical evidence, then we can not know anything at all. Not a single thing.
I do not have blind faith in anything without evidence, or observation. With regards to phenomena or function, stuff like the belief I will take another breath following my previous breath, there is still a certain degree of statistical probability to indicate that this will happen as well as observable evidence of respiratory function and how/why it works. There are many things I do not know, and there are many theories that have not been proven but that seem to have reasonable hypothesis, but I still resign to the fact that there are things that I do not know and things mankind may never know.
There are supposed phenomena like the asserted value of prayer which have been studied in many double blind experiments showing prayer to have no verifiable evidence that there is any sort of effect on the subjects being prayed for. I know with a reasonable amount of certainty that you and I will take another breath after our previous. I do not know, or have any reason to believe however, that prayer works.
Why not try to breathe under water for a few minutes? If it doesn't work out, pray to your god for help. You seem to think it is as reasonable to presume you can survive doing either of these things and survive under water since observation and evidence can be tossed out the window. Obviously I merely believe you would drown; this appears to not be fact in your world view.
If you think you can simply read an antiquated book and believe it because it makes you feel good equates your understanding and capacity for critial thinking to the same level as educated astrophysicists, biologist, medical practitioners, and their like, then you are perhaps what would best be defined as deluded.
