Another day, another Wal-Mart merchandising dilemma. This time, a Christian video game has become the latest sword cast into the angry division in this country. On one side, we have the game's manufacturer claiming the game promotes prayer. On the other side of the fence, critics assail that the game carries a message of violent religious intolerance. Here we go again -- let the culture wars become even more fresh. Sigh.

The religious game is set in New York City after millions of Christians have been transported to heaven (fair enough, so far). Then -- and here's where I can see the game becoming an issues with some people -- the game's players are told to recruit and convert an army that will engage in physical and spiritual warfare with the Antichrist and his evil followers. Ok -- who is defined as the "Antichrist" here? That is the single premise that is most likely ruffling feathers of those who choose to view it as an attack on non-Christians. Fair enough again -- everyone can interpret things differently.

In what is standard procedure (but coming from a "religious game?"), a U.S. advocacy group that monitors right-wing religious activities asked global retailer Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE:WMT) to pull the game from its shelves. Since Wal-Mart generally pulls violent video games from its shelves and other "pieces of entertainment" following outcries from the group-du-jour, this one will probably have the same fate.

Should it? Should Wal-Mart pull games and videos that are seen as too "far left" or too "far right" equally? What do you think? Currently, Wal-Mart plans to continue selling the game online and in stores where it expects demand. In all reality, the free nature of this country should allow all of these games and movies to be on all shelves (with age-appropriate guidelines and safety measures taken into account). Agree? Disagree?
