boring... you don't have many options if you die after answering the first question with 'No'. But hey, it's a "Christian Simulator" and it's close-minded, so I guess it simulates their crooked reality very well...

This gets my nomination as the dumbest thing on internet.
I want to be the atheist! Being the christian sucks!

This is very entertaining. I like winning by beating up atheists! The scenario was a bit too long. I don't like to think. I like to beat up all those who disagree with me, especially the ones that want to "reason" with me! Ha! Once you captured the absolute truth (no evidence or reason, it just feels right), then what's the point of arguing??!!!! There's got to be something wrong with them atheists....
Though at times (of weakness), they seem to be having more fun by using powers of their brains, such as logic and inquiry. If you excuse me, I'll go to flagellate myself, because I think the devil is trying to deceive me....
I rebuke theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Do I have to be the one to always call Poe's Law on all of this nonsense? Well, in any case, I call Poe's Law. If this was intended to be a satirical dig on credulous believers, then well done, however, if this really was intended seriously, then may the winds of ignorance sweep upon your fragile little minds and draw you into the realm of BS for the rest of your life. You'll never know what clear thinking is, or reasoning -- gaining comfort in having lied to yourself so completely. I guess some people are happy bathing in ignorance.
Had to stop at question #2 because no answer was right. I have witnessed cancer cures and miracles, and I am confident that a cure is forthcoming. I won't stop praying for it just as I wouldn't stop asking my Dad for a bicycle when I was a child. Why isn't the cure here already? I don't know. Faith is not magic my friend. Why does one person win the lottery twice in his lifetime but another person never wins? By the way, we are not all as you described. There are many levels of Christianity just as there are many levels of development in all things. All are not the same. Those who rant and rave without logic or intelligence are actually not following the teachings of Christ. "Study to show thyself approved unto God..." "Feed the poor, clothe the naked, visit the sick and imprisoned." "Pray without ceasing."
Dear Commenters and Potential Commenters who may be unclear as to whether this is satirical, pro-Christian, pro-Atheist, have something to do with Poe's law, have nothing to do with Poe's law, or something else entirely ...
... you make me smile.
Whatever you do: don't try and find out what this site is ... about (possible clue).

No, no you haven't.

I have been taken to some strange and wonderful places by PZ's links. This is one of the stranger and mos' wonderfulest. May I come back?

Bloglady, check the possible answers again. Based on what you've posted, I think "It's all part of God's plan" is your answer to question 2, and "I don't know" is your answer to the follow-up question 3. I don't know how you'll answer question 4.
SPOILER: The winning strategy for the game is: "Ignore the question", "Yes", "Atheists are injecting cancer into the water supply", "Kick the atheist". (You get martryed, but the atheist winds up safely locked away in jail where decent people won't have to listen to his nonsense any more.)

Prayer does work. It comforts the christian when he's clueless. It's an utterly selfish thing to do; that brilliantly has the excuse of being the opposite. Depending on your view, the answer will be yes or no. Yes, if it comforts you in any way to practice it. No, if you look at the external results.
BTW: My parents gave me my name. I stick with it out of honour to them; not because it fits.

Is the scientologist level available. I feel i could take the high ground on that one cos at least the bible doesn't tell you to harassas critics cos they're going to hell.

Pure genius!
I really relished the 'evil smiling PZ's old pixel craziness' photo in one of the endings :)
Keep up the good work

Hey, you should have made a path where christian actually won but it would seem so ridiculously stupid that it could make a good laugh. I hate games where you're bound to lose!

I'm an atheist, so I found this whole thing pretty embarrassing. Whoever wrote this has a pretty poor grasp of the Christian argument, and you know there's something wrong when you can't ridicule something as feeble as that without making yourself look even MORE foolish and ignorant.

Atheist?
You're an atheist my ass, anon. Rather a closet christian, admit it.

Hah, somehow I expected that response. I recognise that I can't prove it on teh intarwebs, but I am a genuine atheist; I just like to understand an argument before I refute it. The only thing that annoys me more than a stupid, unthinking Christian is a stupid, unthinking atheist.
After all, they have faith; what's our excuse?

Anonymous, genuine atheists are friendly and helpful, and if they spotted misrepresentations of the Christian argument, they'd post an explanation about where the author went wrong. Complaining about mistakes without helping to fix them isn't atheistic behavior. Complaining about mistakes without even saying what they are is, quite frankly, troll-like.
Now, obviously the game has a lot of humorous hyperbole, and some of the options are just silly. But I think the core arguments are sound. Is there some option that you think should be added? If you've got a suggestion, then maybe it'll be added to a future version of the game!

Pat: trust me when I say that's a good thing.
Looks like I'm playing the wrong side......
Don't be ashamed. All are welcome here.
Yeah, funny that.
You clearly are new to these internets.
Died at the first question because I answered it correctly.....heh
