Reuters reports on a campaign for Wal-Mart to pull the Left Behind PC game from its shelves:

Critics describe it as "a violent video game in which born-again
Christians aim to convert or kill those who don't adhere to their extreme ideology." "After you kill somebody you need to recharge your soul points and to do that you need to bend down in prayer ... I think the message is extremely clear," said Clark Stevens, co-director of the advocacy group Campaign to Defend the Constitution.

Campaign to Defend the Constitution? Defend it from what, the first amendment? This isn't to say that I'm a fan of the game, but come on -- you can't call for Wal-Mart to ban something based on its ideology, then profess to be a defender of the Constitution.
