I have played the game--at least the demo and I am astonished and fearful of propoganda like this. I decided to pose as a christian teen and use their "ask us a question" system to get more insight into what these people believe. Here is the email:
Richard (not my real name),
Thank you for visiting dontbeleftbehind.com. You asked, 'Hello and God bless you for spreading His ministry! There is something that I am curious about though. Would there ever be a case in which God would permit killing someone?'.
Many people make the mistake of believing the Bible says, “You shall not kill,” and seek to apply this command to war. However, the Bible actually says, “You shall not murder” (Exodus 20:13). The Hebrew word literally means “the intentional, premeditated killing of another person with malice.” God often ordered the Israelites to go to war with other nations (1 Samuel 15:3; Joshua 4:13). God ordered the death penalty for numerous crimes (Exodus 21:12; 21:15; 22:19; Leviticus 20:11). So, God is not against killing in all circumstances, but rather only murder. War is never a good thing, but sometimes it is a necessary thing. In a world filled with sinful people (Romans 3:10-18), war is inevitable. Sometimes the only way to keep sinful people from doing great harm is by going to war with them.
Sincerely in Christ,

My next question, which I may ask my new friend, Shea, is who determines the group of sinful people to attack? Will it be someone like Bush? He has claimed to be doing god's will, yet he has been proven to be a liar at the expense of our troops. Many christians claim that they are peaceful people and those who wish hostility on others do not speak for christianity, but the bible says otherwise.
And to those who say "Oh, that's just one group of radicals who made that game," think again. Priests all over the country are promoting this game and the ideology of it.
Killing for God
