Hasnt God created this game in some way if the bible is to be beleived? Why is he criticising his own work?

Ah no, this brings us into the whole "freewill thing" - you know, "you have the freedom to choose not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge, but if you do, well, it's kick-out, original sin, and wrath time."

By this logic, God also created crack cocaine, hardcore pornography and kiddy-fiddlers as well as widespread poverty, starvation and catastrophic environmental damage. Yeh. THANKS, GOD!

Forever, unto the utmost generation, with no hope of reprieve.
Make sure you prostrate yourself weekly and perhaps confess of your transgressions to a man in a dress and you may be OK.
But he loves you.

Nothing to thank god for. We had it so good in the garden of Eden apparently, but being good is far from interesting and fun. The lure of the unknown is always great. Damn Eve, good thing you picked that apple.
To think freely and create under your own power and influence, is the kind of thing the church doesn't like. They'd like to do that for you. Say anything against them and they don't want to hear it or reason with you, because the bible is their only back up, so all you get is quotes from their fave pages and nothing from their caged, brainwashed mind.
No wonder the young have such apathy for the church or religion in general. I don't blame the kids at all.

Rather than just stand by and taking this bullpoop, I'd like to see Sony respond by bashing the bishop.
It needed saying.

I'm sure Jesus would weep often because the churches own demon, which they don't like to talk about. The christian church has killed a lot of people and desicrated a lot of other religions sacred grounds for real. Are we supposed to for get that because it wasn't yesterday? I know they want us to, ask them about it and they shut it up quickly.
I just think the real Mc'Coy should get their own house in order, before worrying about a damn church building in a game. Imsomniac are an american developer, so why on earth would they care what goes on in Manchester day to day? It's possible some of the Imsomniac crew might have visited as tourists, who knows.
Another point, seeing as cathedrals are made to a similar design plan, how does the Bishop not know that influence wasn't taken from a similar church elsewhere?
With Assasins Creed due soon, are they gonna have a go at that too? Hey stop him, he's wearing a cross tunic.

Yesterday we cranked up Resistance again to confirm what was available in the campaign mode. As I described in the thread for the original news story, the campaign (story) mode set the cathedral as a field hospital, and the only casualties are your troops and the Chimera soldiers and dozens of their evil little crab/face hugger critters. There's no human-and-human slaying
However, in the 40 player version of the Manchester multiplay map, you can also enter the cathedral. In this mode you get free reign over the area, and using the neat springboards you can get onto the roof. Several things are evident;
The game's cathedral is clearly inspired by Manchester cathedral, closely resembling the footprint of the building. However the detail only runs to the structure and stonework - the internal decor (beyond the columns, vaulted roof and some panelling) doesn't not match that of the decor. In essence, the game portrays the shell of the cathedral.
In multiplayer, the cavernous interior is broken up with wooden walkways, barricades and springboards that launch you though the collapsed ceiling and onto the roof - it looks less like the real cathedral than the campaign mode. However, being multiplayer, anyone can opt to be a human, so in deathmatch mode there's the potential for a lot of homicide.
The surrounding area looks nothing like the real cathedrals settings - it's clearly been set up for better gameplay over realism (just like the cathedral, really)
I still think that the assertion of copyright infringement is nonsense, and this affair will ultimately do the Christian faith more harm in the eyes of today's youth than its freaky, cult-like Alpha Course can do it good.

There is one solid fact regarding a link between external stimulus and real-world violence: reading literature that states that your deity is better than another deity has lead to the murders of the Inquisition and the Crusades.
Have you got a reference for that research?
