God-Friendly 'Guitar Hero' Clone Gets Shown Off
Oh man... we were excited when we first heard about 'Guitar Praise,' but now that we've seen the three-minute over-explanatory trailer, we might just buy two copies, just in case one isn't enough to get us heathens past St. Peter.
The 'Guitar Hero' clone features songs from Christian Rock acts like Day of Fire and Family Force 5 (What!? no Stryper?), as well as a wireless controller that lets you "shred the riffs and thump the bass." And if you were wondering what to do while you wait for your turn, the trailer lets you know that you can sing along. Exciting!
We really hope that other religions get in on the guitar-based rhythm game fad soon. We're really excited to rock out to 'Hava Nagila.' [From: Joystiq]

I purchased it for my son, it's great! The best part is as a parent I don't have to worry about inappropriate language.

You mean StrKer, right?

no... its stryPer - they are an old-school christian rock band that began in the 80's "big hair" phase (I work in a christian book store.... lol).

As an atheist I am very offended by this load of junk. Christian Rock is an oxymoron. There is no room in rock and roll for religion. We rockers want our sex and drugs and you can keep your prayer to yourselves!

Offend an atheist is an oxymoron.
An impossibility, since God doesn't exist, to you, then none of the Christians should be of any concern to you.
You must look more closely at your defining belief system. flawed that it is,, It only comes out laughable when you make comments that you are offended and Christians should keep their prayers to themselves.. THAT;s an impossibility for a Christian. as defined by our code of beliefs. Which you might want to know, also brings about great joy...

Funny, I am on the other side.
And I agree.
I do believe in God, but I hate religion. (No, God and religion are not the same thing)
Why do I hate it? Because of this utter crap, exactly.
You can't mix advanced life with low life. Mixing religious lyrics with heavy music is like mixing matter with antimatter.
Just plain stupid.
I don't know who's more stupid, if atheist idiots like sol rosenberg, or that silly people who think they can get away with mixing something with it's antisomething. Flawed logic on both sides.

If more Christians acted like you seem to be acting there wouldn't be so much dissension between believers and non-believers. Believe it or not, more non-believers have a problem with the folks who like to pretend that they're going to heaven while everybody else goes to hell because they picked the right dead guy to worship and the rest of us didn't than have any sort of beef with the concept of God in general. Most of them probably still wouldn't believe the same things that you do, but they'd be much more likely to keep their opinions to themselves. By the way though, it's pretty hard to hate something that you don't believe in, I think your confusing hating religion with hating God.

Yes, god created music. Just like he created the spoon, the automobile, and Michael Jackson. All things created from "human ingenuity". Sure, I won't argue with you if you said that god created humans, animals, plants, and geological hogwash; just don't claim that he created human inventions. If it wasn't there when humans first arrived on the scene, then big man upstairs wasn't responsible. I don't think he was responsible for anything, really, but that's a whole other topic.
