There's two ways to get your point across in any debate: present a rational argument in a gentle and understanding way, or shock the person you are debating with your poor taste so that they have to believe you. A new game in development by a college student seems much more like the latter than the former. An atheistic game, it is your goal to go back in time and kill the prophets of several religions. You read that right. Your goal is to eliminate religions before they start.Speaking to a local news outlet, the University of Virgina student had this to say:
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.This seems less like a political statement and more like an attempt to rile up the religious community to rail against atheists even more than they already do. Besides, everyone knows it's turtles all the way down!

This seems more like a misguided attempt to get attention than speaking on behalf of atheism. Maybe he just has a mean axe to grind with religion, because very little (if any) thought went into the concept. There's certainly no basis in history. Killing a prophet to stave off the spread of religion... I think the Romans tried to do that with a crucifixion. We all know how well that worked out.Posted at 6:12PM on Jun 3rd 2008 by Steven Wong
