City of Heroes – lesser evil, but still evil

[lukasekman]

The satanic online games by Blizzard (Diablo, World of Warcraft etc) do for sure have the lead in the number of cradle to grave virgins and people who live with their moms past 40. But that doesn't mean that the superhero/urban exploration MMO City of Heroes have a room in a Christian home.


Here is a list of verified things that really disturb me:

• You can summon demons, but not angels.
• You can make your character wear a hammer and sickle.
• There are several "day jobs" which award you if you log out from the right location, but none of them is priest, pastor or exorcist.
• The built-in profanity filter censor the word God.
• There is an "incarnate trial" (very tough mission with awesome rewards) that involve attacking TPN, a Godly conservative television network, similar to Fox News.
• There is an emote for reading a book, but it isn't the KJV Bible.
• There is a secret power that make you switch gender by shooting white slime in your arm
• Low level players gain experience from running around in sewers.
• The ultimate goal of the game is to collect badges, and roughly half of them is related to Urban Exploration, many of them located in sewers.
• Upon character creation, you can chose one out of five origins which explain the source of your powers. There is no divine origin, but there is magic and science.
• It is considered villainous and not heroic to beat down striking miners.
• If you are defeated, you get universal health care, eurobama style.

This right there as City of Heroes at number #49 on the to 50 most anti-Christian computer games off all times. The Moucher coddling mentality that pervades the were anytime a Hero does a pro-Job Creator act they are penalized it something our Christians shouldn't don't need to see.

The Landover Baptist Gamers Guild tried City of Heroes and for just following the Pastor's Code of TRUE Christian Gamer Ethic every toon in the guild was reclassified by the game as a "villain" with in one week. Now admittedly Landover Guild members are hard core pro's so most Christian games won't be able to equal the Guild's spiritual gaming intensity but does show you the clear anti-Christian bias in the game.
