		<description>A statement from Left Behind Games CEO Troy Lyndon:

Focus on the Family, Concerned Women For America, Women of Faith, Outreach Magazine, National Network of Youth Ministers, and Promise Keepers are just some of the organizations that support LEFT BEHIND: Eternal Forces, a PC game. Read below to find out why…

This is the world’s first high-quality inspirational game which intends to model positive behavior by discouraging physical warfare. Our game is the first game ever to encourage the use of prayer and worship as the most effective means to resolve conflict. Physical warfare is discouraged as the least effective means for resolving conflict…and a gamer loses points for using a gun.

In the past several days, numerous people have been and continue to spread misinformation about the game.

Our game does not encourage killing. Our game is not anti anything … it’s simply pro-Christian. The ultimate bad guy is the antichrist who wants to eliminate all faiths and all religions, except his. He is deceiving the entire world.

Our game does not teach the pre-tribulation theology of the book series, except that this worldview is utilized as a fictional backdrop of the game.

In an industry which creates so much gratuitous violence and gore, LEFT BEHIND: Eternal Forces presents a healthy alternative. We need your help to get the word out!

PLAY THE GAME and find out for yourself that this game is about the battle of good versus evil.

Here is what some are saying about the game:

The Anti-Defamation League, although they speak out against the book theology, says “Conversion to Christianity in the game is not depicted as forcible in nature, and violence is not rewarded in the game.”

AOL says it is a “Positive Moral Message.”

Focus on the Family says “The kind of game Mom and Dad can play with Junior.”

Concerned Women for America says “A game we can wholeheartedly recommend!”

Wired Magazine, “Few are as ambitious and polished as this PC title.”

ArsTechnica.com, “This is a game that Christian parents can buy their kids, and one that Christian kids can play themselves without any guilt about "questionable content."

Women of Faith says that in an industry that is full of destruction with no hope, the LEFT BEHIND game provides a healthy alternative.

Clint Thomas from Chaos Theory says, “For years we’ve been telling kids what to run from and not what to run to, until now!”

Should you have any concerns about this game, please go to the contact us page on our website at www.leftbehindgames.com and we’ll do our best to connect with you.

Sincerely,
Troy Lyndon
Co-founder, CEO
Left Behind Games Inc.</description>

		<description>Personally, I think Wal-Mart is only selling the game to get back some of their losses they took from the boycott earlier this year.

I also honestly can't see what that groups problem is. It's one game among thousands filled with gore and other questionable content. If you don't like the game, don't buy it. We DO live in a capitalist country for goodness sakes, and stuff that doesn't make money won't get produced.</description>
