New video game’s objective: Stop the spread of Christianity and Islam

The new game, not yet released, is giving a voice to the atheist community, that’s according to the game’s creator, a University of Virginia graduate student. He wouldn’t release his name, for fear of his safety.

“Atheists have never really had anything to speak for them like this. It’s the general atheist premise that the world might be a better place without some of those religions,” explained the creator of the game.

The object of the game is to stop the spread of Christianity and Islam by murdering Abraham and the authors of the Bible, before beheading Muhammad.

“It’s the idea of being able to go back in time and sort of nipping the problem in the bud,” said the game’s creator.


(I removed the photo just in case it violates DU rules, although it doesn't really look Muhammad-like at all.)
A video image released by the computer game’s creator showing an injured man may not appear to be graphic, but you may change your mind once you know who it is. It’s the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

So far, Christians have had all the video game action.

Atheists piss me off sometimes…

On a side note, I still like Ze Frank’s atheist game. http://www.zefrank.com/atheist/

Personally, I would prefer it if the game used non-violent means to rid the would of the scourge of Religion. That's like saying we need to fight steroid use in baseball by pumping-up with steroids and killing all the baseball players.

Arguably, the three most deadly drugs in world history are Religion, Testosterone, and Money/Power. The application of violence is the correct answer to solving none of these problems.
