Controversial upcoming game: Brutal Bible Bloodbaths

[excreationist]

Now you can chop things as you ride along on a horse - but the horse needs to be chopped in order to properly cleanse the level...

Now there's Holy Hand Grenades...

Now you can be an angry God in the grape stomper level:
Isaiah 63:1-6

Who is this man coming from the city of Bozrah in Edom?
His clothes are stained bright red.
Who is he? He is dressed up in all his glory.
He is marching toward us with great strength.

The Lord answers, “It is I.
I have won the battle.
I am mighty.
I have saved my people.”

Why are your clothes red?
They look as if you have been stomping
on grapes in a winepress.

The Lord answers, “I have been stomping on the nations
as if they were grapes.
No one was there to help me.
I walked all over the nations because I was angry.
That is why I stomped on them.
Their blood splashed all over my clothes.
So my clothes were stained bright red.
I decided it was time to pay back Israel’s enemies.
The year for me to set my people free had come.
I looked around, but no one was there to help me.
I was shocked that no one gave me any help.
I used my own power to save my people.
I had the strength to do it because I was angry.
I walked all over the nations because I was angry with them.
I made them drink from the cup of my great anger.
I poured out their blood on the ground.”

Deuteronomy 20:17 says "...Wipe out the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites..." but there is a related seventh group - the Girgashites. It is mentioned alongside a lot of the original six in:

Genesis 10:15-16
Canaan was the father of Sidon. Sidon was his oldest son. Canaan was also the father of the Hittites, Jebusites, Amorites and Girgashites.

Genesis 15:19-21
It includes the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites and Rephaites. The Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites also live there.

Deuteronomy 7:1
The Lord Will Drive Out Many Nations
The Lord your God will bring you into the land. You are going to enter it and take it as your own. He’ll drive out many nations to make room for you. He’ll drive out the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. Those seven nations are larger and stronger than you are.

Joshua 3:10
You will soon know that the living God is among you. He will certainly drive out the people now living in the land. He’ll do it to make room for you. He’ll drive out the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites and Jebusites.

Joshua 24:11
Then you went across the Jordan River. You came to Jericho. Its people fought against you. So did the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites and Jebusites. But I handed them over to you.

1 Chronicles 1:13-15
Canaan was the father of Sidon. Sidon was his oldest son. Canaan was also the father of the Hittites, Jebusites, Amorites and Girgashites. And he was the father of the Hivites, Arkites, Sinites,

Nehemiah 9:8
You knew that his heart was faithful to you. And you made a covenant with him. You promised to give to his children after him a land of their own. It was the land of the Canaanites, Hittites and Amorites. The Perizzites, Jebusites and Girgashites also lived there. You have kept your promise. That’s because you always do what is right and fair.

Those passages only talk about driving them out though rather than killing them all...

1 Samuel. Kill all the Amelekites. And even their livestock. God tempts David to number the Israelites. and punishes innocent Israelites due to David's following God's commands.

BTW the passage the game is about (Deuteronomy 20:16-20) also has genocide - involving 6 ethnicities:

"Wipe out the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites"

It says to kill everything that breathes which would include the livestock too....

That also includes plants and bacteria. That Bible verse is kinda omnicidal in a way.

I don't think the Bible teaches that plants and bacteria breathe - therefore they don't need to be killed.

@Bullmoose Too

Genesis 1:30
I am giving every green plant as food for all the land animals and for all the birds in the sky. I am also giving the plants to all the creatures that move along the ground. I am giving them to every living thing that breathes.” And that’s exactly what happened.

In that passage it seems "every living thing that breathes" doesn't include plants.

Genesis 6:17
I am going to bring a flood on the earth. It will destroy all life under the sky. It will destroy every living creature that breathes. Everything on earth will die.

It only talks about living creatures that breathe - it doesn't say that there are plants that breathe.

Even if it is technically true that plants and bacteria breathe, the people who were carrying out the order to kill everything that breathes wouldn't think that they have to kill all of the plants and bacteria.

There's also:

Genesis 2:7
Then the Lord God formed a man. He made him out of the dust of the ground. God breathed the breath of life into him. And the man became a living person.

Numbers 16:22
But Moses and Aaron fell with their faces to the ground. They cried out, “God, you are the God who gives life and breath to all living things. Will you be angry with the whole community when only one man sins?”

Numbers 27:16
“Lord, you are the God who gives life and breath to all living things. Please put someone in charge of this community.

I don't think the writers of the Bible thought this breath of life was given to plants.

 

[excreationist]

Now I have a level where you need to have some survivors...

Numbers 31:7,17-18

They fought against Midian, as the Lord commanded Moses, and killed every man.
[Later Moses said:]
"Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man."

In the game they have to consent to the marriage and wait until they're the appropriate age though that might not be Biblically accurate.

I've been chatting to a Christian online and he told me about some more Bible verses related to why God wanted the cities cleansed. These included ones about magic. My favourite Bible translation, the NIRV, calls it "evil magic". I got some magic spell words from the Fairy Godmother in Disney's Cinderella:

Salagadoola mechicka boola
Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo

I used a baby on a pentagram because of the stories of babies being used in Satanic rituals. Since God said to kill everything that breathes, you or your soldiers need to kill the baby. If you say the magic words you realise that you didn't say it right and then repeat the words backwards. Then the soldiers say "Death to the sorcerer!" and come after you.



The Christian also talked about bestiality in the Bible. Eventually I thought I'd add a sheep near the male prostitutes and a stallion near the female prostitutes. I've already got penises for the stallions if you have the adults only DLC enabled.

Your version of the Bible is kind of like trying to piece together the plot of David Lynch's Dune without having acually seen it, only heard it third-hand from your friend whose twelve-year-old kid saw it on a plane trip to Detroit and tried to summarize it to her.

Actually in the game the first menu item has Deuteronomy 20:16-20 which is five consecutive Bible verses:

But what about the cities the Lord your God is giving you as your own? Kill everything that breathes in those cities. Completely destroy them. Wipe out the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. That's what the Lord your God commanded you to do. If you don't destroy them, they'll teach you to do all the things the Lord hates. He hates the way they worship their gods. If you do those things, you will sin against the Lord your God.
Suppose you surround a city and get ready to attack it. And suppose you fight against it for a long time in order to capture it. Then don’t chop down its trees and destroy them. You can eat their fruit. So don’t cut them down. Are the trees people? So why should you attack them? But you can cut down trees that you know aren’t fruit trees. You can use their wood to make ladders and towers to help you get over the walls and capture the city.

It is mostly from the NIRV except the end of the last verse.

The game involves basically all of that including being against you chopping fruit trees and letting you build a ladder using non-fruit trees to get over city walls.

I think the gameplay is one of the closest games to what the Bible says. Though it is also a cross with the Matrix/simulations and humour. Some games that I've looked into include "Gate Zero" and "I am Jesus Christ".



In Gate Zero you are from 2072 and time travel to Jesus' time to solve your grandmother's riddle. You need to get past guards by distracting them by throwing stones at vases. You also impersonate a person working at the temple and need to collect items to make some kind of holy bread.

Much in the same way that Return to Castle Wolfenstein is a documentary about World War II, yes.

RTCW has zombies, skeletons, x-creatures, witches with magic, and some kind of supernatural boss. So it isn't based very closely on WW2. It teaches you next to nothing about WW2. BBB quotes dozens of verses for passages that most people would be surprised to know exist. Having a magic laser sword isn't as much of a difference to the scenario as having skeleton enemies, etc, in RTCW.

BTW about Adventures of the Old Testament - The Bible Video Game

In the Adam and Eve level they're wearing leaves (but should either be naked or have fresh animal skins) and you need to collect 5 fruits.

In the Noah's Ark level you're meant to collect 10 animals but I couldn't find any. People would try and kill me so I had to attack them and then they'd disappear in a puff of fire. Noah can also use magic spells (but the game says that is for "entertainment purposes").

From a conversation with a Christian:

Perhaps you need to read those scriptures through.
Those people were having sex with animals, and they were engaged in other disgusting practices.
Do you know what causes pathogens in animals, and why some animal need to be killed when they have various diseases?

Zoonotic diseases are infectious diseases that can spread between animals and humans. However, the reverse can also occur, where humans can transmit diseases to animals. These are known as reverse zoonoses or anthroponoses. For example, humans can transmit certain infections to their pets, which may not have been widely recognized before. This highlights the bidirectional nature of disease transmission between humans and animals.

Some zoonotic diseases diseases can pose significant risks to public health, and in certain cases, the animals that carry these pathogens may need to be culled to prevent further spread.
In cases where an animal is suspected of carrying rabies, it may need to be euthanized to prevent the spread of the disease.

Similarly, other zoonotic diseases such as anthrax, which is caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis, can be transmitted to humans through contact with infected animals or their products. In outbreaks, infected animals may need to be culled to control the spread of the disease. This approach is also used for diseases like avian influenza, where infected poultry may be culled to prevent the virus from spreading to humans.

The decision to cull animals is typically made based on the risk of disease transmission, the potential for human infection, and the effectiveness of alternative control measures.

So I guess I've got to put that in the game... a planned update:

Temple animals

There are now animals in the temple such as a sheep to help a male [sexual worship] assistant and a stallion to help a female [sexual worship] assisant.

In the adults only DLC the stallions have penises.

So anyway that gives you a better reason to kill everything that breathes.
