...most of our European allies, I would suggest that a political system as diabolical as Iran’s is not actually capable of holding any sort of “legitimacy” whatsoever. A nation that beheads gays, proclaims America “Great Satan,” and considers Jews to be sub-humans worthy of nuclear extermination is not worthy of respect, and should be shown none.

Now, however, a far greater evil waits: Satan.“Ominous Horizons,” a new Christian computer game that challenges players to recover Gutenberg’s stolen Bible from Satan so that “the Word of God will be made available to all.” Video games are only the latest media form in which Christians are playing an increasingly vocal role. “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch...
