Doom is really a Christian game

Funny story, not doom related but a few years ago I was at a boys home for troubled lil blokes ran by a Christian blokes ( lots of them around the world, it’s called TeenChallenge ).

Anyway, we had an Xbox 360 donated but all the game discs were scratched or either broken from the boys who lived at the house before us so I pleaded to them to purchase a new game for us the next time we went grocery shopping. We stopped by EBgames (Australian GameStop), and they let us choose a game. They offered a bunch of sport games such as fifa, nba2k, boxing, you get the idea.

I swiftly looked over all the on sale Xbox 360 games and came across a Masterpiece of a game, Gears of War 2. I picked it out, and offered it. They gave it a quick glance at the cover. Big bulky guys with chainsaws on their guns, blood and a fat MA15+ rating sitting at the bottom right of the cover topped with a nice “Coarse Language and Violence”.

I got an obvious “No” back, worth a shot though. But I wasn’t going to give up, so I brainstormed for a minute, blank face on the outside, meditating on the inside. I found the answer, I asked the youth worker one more time, “Please Ben, I use to play this game with my friend when I was 11”. “What’s it about?” “Killing Aliens, saving the world, we’re doing gods work”, I replied.

He laughed, asked if I was serious then he bought it and even played it with us. We had to have the cursing turned off and also the gore which is the only reason you’d play the game anyway.

TLDR: Living a Christian boys home, had an Xbox w/ no games. Pleaded for a worker to buy us Gears of War 2, my reason being “We’re doing Gods work”.
