Too sickened to write too much about this right now. Suffice to say, the DOD (Department of Defense) is planning to actively proselytize our soldiers using a video game based on the Left Behind Series (an often criticized series of books loosely based on the book of "Revelation" from The Bible). Among other fun features, players of the game are encouraged to kill those characters in the game that they can not "save" by converting.
You can read about it here on David Neiwert's Orcinus.
To read more on the Left Behind series, Fred Clark of Slacktivist has an excellent series of posts going back the last few years (when you hit the link, scroll to the bottom and then go up to reach the more recent posts) that deconstruct the novels from both a literary and theological perspective.
