He's just mad that Bible Adventures was terrible.

Didn't the Angry Video Game Nerd review that one?

If the game teaches people disgust of right wing degenerates who want to drag us into the past, kicking and screaming, I am all for it.

If a game features Extremist Christians and Conservatives as villains, these little whiners will need to deal with it, and see how easy it is to view their platform as a villainous creed.

"We want the 1950's back". That is not a heroic thing to want. That is villainous.

I forget, I remember reading on TV Tropes that one of the developers for the first Bioshock was a Libertarian or something, but what people got out of the game was anti-Libertarian stuff. Only in the sequel was this corrected.

That doesn't make sense. The second game wasn't made by the same team.

Also, it's probably not smart to look at the villains in Infinite and say "oh yeah, these guys are totally meant to represent my political and religious views."

I'd be interested to know where they found that out. Ken Levine was a part of both Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite and Bioshock 2 was done by Jordan Thomas who worked with Ken for Bioshock 1. And I'm really not sure Ken has a definite political lean nor Jordan.

I remember when we were reading The Jungle in class, and the teacher offered extra credit if we read some Ayn Rand book (I forget which one). I asked if we would get extra extra credit for playing Bioshock after reading said Rand book and he said no.

With that in mind, I wish Bethesda would do an RTS/RPG accurately depicting the Old Testament. Wut a bloodfest, man! Would the xtians love it or hate it?

Yes, yes he did. Actually he did ALL the knock-off Bible games.

I don't think he played to the point that you meet the Vox Populi..

Yeah, if this guy had beaten it I think he would of seen it in a whole different light.  Or maybe not considering it's probably a fundie.

That's an insult to actual amateur historians--people who are new at what they are doing but are still acting in an ethical manner. Barton is a conscious charlatan who blatantly lies about history and forges his own quotes in an effort to convince people that the founders were all fundamentalist Christians who wanted a Christian nation. Never trust anyone who claims the Constitution is a "verbatim" copy of Scripture and does so with a straight face.
