  Imagine: you are a foot soldier in a paramilitary group whose purpose 
is to remake America as a Christian theocracy, and establish its worldly 
vision of the dominion of Christ over all aspects of life. You are 
issued high-tech military weaponry, and instructed to engage the infidel 
on the streets of New York City. You are on a mission - both a religious 
mission and a military mission -- to convert or kill Catholics, Jews, 
Muslims, Buddhists, gays, and anyone who advocates the separation of 
church and state - especially moderate, mainstream Christians. Your 
mission is "to conduct physical and spiritual warfare"; all who resist 
must be taken out with extreme prejudice. You have never felt so 
powerful, so driven by a purpose: you are 13 years old. You are playing 
a real-time strategy video game whose creators are linked to the empire 
of mega-church pastor Rick Warren, best selling author of The Purpose 
Driven Life.

  The game, slated for release by October 2006 in advance of the 
Christmas shopping rush, has been previewed at video game exhibitions, 
and reviewed by major newspapers and magazines. But until now, no fan or 
critic has pointed out the controversial game's connection to Mr. Warren 
or his dominionist agenda....
