Beyond Bible games

'Bible Games' instead of 'Grand Theft Auto?' - Games - MSNBC.com

I think this is a very good (and, at the least, refreshing) idea: creating high-end video games based off of the Bible. Why the heck not?

But I'd take it a step further. Currently, they have a Bible quiz game where you answer questions on the Bible. They're trying to work on something more adventurous so they can break into the mainstream. I, for one, being Christian, would like to see this. However, I am also a student of the world and realize there is more wisdom than in just the Bible. It is very narrow-minded of us to think we can contain God in 1400 or so pages. There are other wisdoms and teachings out there very closely related to the teachings of Jesus (etc). Combine all these into a video game. And, have it so that the character(s) have to do things to fend off Satan and thwart his schemes.

People love to play the hero in games. You just have to look at the popularity of games like "World of Warcraft" to understand this. Maybe make the Bible game in the same vein. Different "classes"of characters that have special skills in fighting the devil and spreading the Word.

I wonder how that would look...
