Joystiq reminds us about the controversy surrounding this game in which you are rewarded for killing or converting non-Christians.

Some might question the group's motives. Along with the game, in what they are calling "Freedom packets", they will be sending a pocket Gideon bible, a Christian extreme sports DVD and the proselytizing book "More Than a Carpenter".

Apparently, they defend sending the game on their site:

"just one more way OSU Tour can be a conduit in changing a soul forever."

The question is, should those with political or religious agendas be sending packages like this at all? Some of us do not like another's religious agenda forced upon us.

Interestingly, they are affiliated with the Pentagon's "America Supports You" program. Celebrities even back them.

Where do we draw the line with religious agendas? Maybe other religions should be sending the soldiers their literature and beliefs.

Wait a minute...in the game you are rewarded for killing or converting non-Christians. Some might say that's kinda what's happening over there.
