“Faith Fighter” game unites religions in outrage
April 27th, 2009



Representatives of several major religions have called for a game by radical developers Molleindustria to be removed from the internet because it is “deeply provocative” and “disrespectful”.

Faith Fighter is a punch-up game for one or two players which involves bouts between Jesus, Mohammed, Ganesh, Buddha, Budai, and God Himself. According to its developers,

Faith Fighter is the ultimate fighting game for these dark times. Choose your belief and kick the shit out of your enemies. Give vent to your intolerance! Religious hate has never been so much fun.

Douglas Miller, pastor of the Link Church in Birmingham:

"This game is going out of its way to upset people and I think it should be taken off the internet.

Playing violent video games will ultimately affect your behaviour and this game is deeply offensive and provocative."

A spokesman for the Leicester-based Federation of Muslim Organisations:

"In the current climate, this game can only create fear about religion. Having images depicting Muhammad in this way is also very offensive to our faith."

And Brian Appleyard called it “an offensive, futile project”.

Has it occurred to any of them not to play it?

What crap, this game is awesome. Gotta love God's Smiting Combo.

Fortunately you can still play it here. I also managed to download the standalone version if someone has a place for me to host it.

Oh, and check out the other games from the same developer: you can't go wrong with titles like 'Operation: Pedopriest' and 'Orgasm Simulator.'

Nice.

I don't see how you can enjoy a game that basically makes fun of and degrades peoples religions/beliefs.I don't see why anyone would even create a game like that in the first place..

Sigh. It's a pity a lot of people don't see the irony or satire in a game like this. I mean, just read their description of it:

"Give vent to your intolerance! Religious hate has never been so much fun."

Although, if you visit the game's page now there's an even more tongue-in-cheek version of the game where you have to give love to the various entities and if you don't then the world ends up a 'total mess.'

Hmmm...

EDIT: download it from Quickshare here (thanks hideinlight)
