A PC game for Christian kiddies which encourages them to kill or convert non-Christians is coming in for a bit of stick across the pond.
Left Behind: Eternal Forces is based on a series of novels, by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. These books make use of a fairly creative interpretation of the book of Revelation mixed with a mish-mash of New Testament prophecy.
The plot is that Jesus has come back and taken most of his followers in a first sweep, but carelessly leaves behind a few Christians who have to face the armies of the devil.
In the game you have to kill or convert these forces of the anti-Christ. While players lose "spirit points" every time they gun down nonbelievers rather than convert them, they can earn these back by having their character pray. So praying with your finger on the trigger seems to be a perfectly good strategy.
