Pic'n the strings - Wired has a post about a game coming out for the Mac and Pc in the same vein as the popular Guitar Hero game but it uses Christian artists like Jennifer Knapp.
It's called Guitar Praise: Solid Rock.
What's interesting to me is not that such a game is out for the Christian market, after all that market is huge, but the post on wired is very sarcastic and snarky toward Christians.
If you read some of the comments you will find similar feelings.
Follow the link on the page to the blog BoingBoing where the news of the Guitar Praise game hit first and this quote stuck out to me:
I used to be a Christian. Born of atheist parents, I stumbled upon this on my own. But there was a day my faith disintegrated: it was when I realized that the exact same sensation of God's love that I felt at Christian gatherings was absolutely indistinguishable from the adrenaline rush and sense of cultural belonging that I felt at a rock concert.
Makes my spirit ache. I think this reaction is one of the problems I have with big concerts, particularly those that have altar calls. Too many in our culture live based upon their emotions, the recent so-called "revival" in Lakeland, FL, is one example. The church for the most part has failed to teach and instruct.
You might want to read some of the comments on BoingBoing page as well.
Some of the views about Christians that are expressed are saddening and troubling to me.
