Outchurched

Via Wired:

A University of Virginia graduate student is hard at work on a game that gives players a chance to “stop the spread of Christianity and Islam by murdering Abraham and the authors of the Bible, before beheading Muhammad,” reports Virginia’s WSLS television news.

While the report lacks crucial details — the name of the title or its creator, for instance — it does provide a phone interview with the man explaining his motivation for tackling such a controversial subject:

Atheists have never really had anything to speak for them like this. It’s the general atheist premise that the world might be a better place without some of those religions… It’s the idea of being able to go back in time and sort of nipping the problem in the bud.

What a stupid asshole. Oh wait… free press for something that will likely be a really lame-ass game with a tragically-wrong premise. What a mega-stupid asshole with good marketing skills.
