Yet another astounding example of a church going overboard about something so incredibly lame.
Sigh....

Morally wrong? I'm not sure about that. That implies some sort of agreed upon morality between American based developer Insomniac Games, Sony, and the Church of England.Hot Shot wrote:They are overreacting, but I can understand why they're offended. The church is a place for worship and the absence of violence, while the game defaces it. I wouldn't call it Sacriligious, but I would call it morally wrong.
I think a church should get the same amount of protection from virtual violence happening in its virtual halls as any other building which does not normally house violence does. In other words, none at all.
Furthermore, you're going to tell me that if an alien invasion was taking place, there WOULDN'T be bunches of horrid little humans sheltered inside these weird little buildings filled with crosses for some ungodly reason? If you're trying to eradicate the human race going house to house, you're going to have to kill some people in some churches.
