Thanks to an enquiry by ABC News, the Department of Defense has abruptly halted plans to send the Christian videogame Left Behind: Eternal Forces to troops in Iraq.

The ABC report revealed that Operation Start Up (OSU), an evangelical Christian entertainment troupe, planned to include copies of Left Behind in care packages destined for U.S. forces. In the controversial game, players must kill or convert all non-believers after wiping out the armies of the Antichrist.

While its pretty clear that OSU will not back down from their plans to spread the word to troops and civilians in Iraq, they could probably benefit from using a more subtle approach.
