Vary rarely have I heard of a *reputable* christian organization actually suing anybody, let alone for something minor such as this.

I would suppose that the Anglicans are trying to sue on the grounds of slander, but just setting their cathedral as a location in a violent game, gives little ground for that imo.

 

I used to have a christian background (not anymore) and I know how to deal with religious people. I think that religious people want some kind of assurance that the world isn't going to change too rapidly for them in a lot of ways. So, I would sit down with some representatives and explain the corporate social contributions ( if any) that sony has been making and how sony appreciates the anglicans many contributions as well. It would help if they set this meeting up with an actual christian, too.

From the article it appears they are suing to have production of the game with the Church in it stopped. As such, I don't know what else they could do. I suppose they could have asked Sony nicely to stop production of the game. Which Sony would probably respond, we will in 2012 after we stop making PS3 products. They simply don't want to be associated with a Violent game. Just because society is numb to violence doesn't mean it's not a big deal to anybody to be associated with guns, killing.

Do you have any generalizations on Blacks, Jews, Hispanics or Italians why we are making statements about protected classes? A real Christian wants the world to change too much. Which is why they don't fit. And I don't think the church wants a money amount from Sony. They want to be seperated from association of violent videogames.

 But we want God to bless our troops as we slaughter people in Iraq....God loooooves violence, you didnt get that memo.  The catholic church was FOUNDED on violence, the irony in this is so rich, im enjoying every bit of this.
