Spore is “Biggest Attack on Christian Values to Date”
by Kev Lochun on September 11, 2008 at 7:30 am
It’s nothing to do with penis monsters. No, today’s scapegoat is evolution. One militant creationist – who describes herself only as a “good Christian woman” – has set up a blog to campaign against Spore. Did we also mention that Will Wright is evil and that she’s killing EA on the stock market? I’m not joking.
The site, Anti Spore, only appeared in the world on 8 September, after its creator’s son asked for a copy of the game. She regales:
It looked innocent enough at first and has “E for Everyone” ESRB rating. But don’t be mislead, apparently ‘everyone’ means everyone they want to teach evolution to.
This entire game is propaganda aimed directly at our children to teach them evolution instead of creationism.
I created this blog to find support for and follow my progress in letting Electronic Arts know that their biggest attack on Christian values to date will not be tolerated.
We can not allow the gaming industry to invade our homes and poison the minds of our children.
After all, their billions in revenue and all the advertising in the world are no match for the power of God.
Ironically, Anti Spore is very much moving into realms of propaganda itself. Remember that Will Wright chap? GCW does. She used to like him. Now he’s evil.
He created Sim City, a fantastic game that celebrated the earth that God created for us and allowed you to use all your God given abilities to make an ideal society. But if you ever felt like you had too much power, God would come in with a tornado or an earthquake and put you back in place.
You would think that as a member of the Episcopal Church, a smart man like Will Wright would not be capable of creating Spore. However, we must be reminded that the Episcopal Church is the only church in America that ordains homosexuals on a regular basis.
It goes on. GCW feels sick that none of the 8,500 EA employees had “enough Jesus” to make a stand against Spore, despite the rather obvious fact that most of them will have had nothing to do with it. But perhaps the biggest point of misguidedness came in a post on 9 September, when she noted that EA’s stock dropped.
“Today EA’s stock is down almost a dollar. I hope that the information about Spore I am making available helped in some small way.”
Pity she hasn’t been looking beyond her remit to notice that the knock-on from EA’s SecuROM DRM in Spore and Red Alert 3.

Some people are just plain crazy, and there is not a damn thing we can do except shake our heads in disbelief and move on.

Yeah, old news to most but the entire Site is a spoof. Theres a rickroll right in the middle of her announcements.
“But the Bible teaches us that God was not done with man. For we were His creation and He then spoke to Noah in Genesis 8:21-27 after the flood.
“21. The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never gonna give you up. 22. “Never gonna let you down.” 23.”Never gonna run around and desert you.” 24. “Never gonna make you cry.” 25. “Never gonna say goodbye.” 26. “Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.” 27.”Never truly believe anything you read on the Internet. There will always be cases of Poe’s Law.””

Religion, fine. Just don’t expect a game like this to be an attack. Thats just showing the weakness in your religion and believes. And that is why there are so many wars in this tiny world, created by god or not. probably not. But hey thats my believe. I dont see (any) religion could be an attack of “evolution value’s” , come on, please.
And, as said about sim city, and i quote:
“But if you ever felt like you had too much power, God would come in with a tornado or an earthquake and put you back in place.”
Doesnt seem like a very friendly god. at least a god i would be terrified to believe in. probably children even more… just my 2 cents. not an attack on your believes. at least it does explain why He ( if He exists) has created Tornado Alley…
