» I think
that if the church is willing to accept a donation without anything changing, like the game still being pulled from shelves or modified, then I'd say that the church is in it for the money, as bad as that sounds. It's like "if you don't wanna change your game because it's 'bad', then we'll take money and you can continue to do 'bad' things, we don't care anymore." That'd suck for it to be pulled though, because I like Resistance and I own it.

Of course the church is about money. What church isn't? Having faith is fine, but organized religion is a bad religion.
Furthermore, there's no way they could press legal charges...if that was true, the city of New York would be suing the crap out of Rockstar Games for GTA:IV. It's more of a moral/image decision on Sony's part. (Which I think they'll keep their money and tell the church to pray for fat joe to make it rain.)

» As a Christian, I agree with Bystander
Yeah, I used the 'C' word (Christian). The problem is that people like these give the vast majority of us a bad rap.
Seriously, when ANY religion or faith says: "Hey, what you are doing is bad and you should stop" and then turn around and say "We'll look the other way and be quiet... IF you shell out some 'donations'" it is hypocritical to what they're supposed to stand for.
It's a 'shakedown', plain and simple. Just remember that there are bad people in any demographic, not just in one religion or another.

» the pope
the POpe dosen't like video games because of the ww2 shooters. He sees all his nazi freinds getting killed and he dosen't like it. I think in the next game there should be a nazi with a younger version of the pope's face. That would be too real, I'm sure.

I really hope Sony fights this to the end. I hope they dont' take the easy way out and just give them money to shut up. I am tired of these people that are dumb as hell. I guess they don't act on what they preach.
I have yet to meet a church ooer that wasn't a sinner. Hell, sometimes they are worse than the ones that dont' go to church. I came from a very christian country(Brazil) and everyone that I met in church were the biggest hipocrites ever. The church has turned me away from itself.
They must be really desperate. The sad thing is that they are making themselves look worse each time they open their mouth.

» REDICULOUS!
the church of england is trying to sue sony/get Resistance fall of man taken out of the shelves just because part of the game is based around that area!? like what the hell, they said they would accept a donation instead of taking the game out of the shelves...They clearly just want the money. People are willing to do anything for money.
Hell, if sony made a game based where i live, i'd be like "WOOT! THIS IS AWESOME!"
OH, and not to mention the game is based like 50 years ago, who the hell cares! ITS JUST A GAME!!

anyway this "church" that is threating sony is walking off the trail to salvation with these actions.
