While not technically about muds, this article reminded me of the heated debates that spring up whenever someone talks about creating a Christian mud:



A new Christian video game has sparked calls for a boycott from groups who say it is "training for religious warfare".

The game, Left Behind: Eternal Forces, is based on a wildly successful series of novels about the struggles on earth after true believers ascend to heaven.

Players can command the army of good - the Tribulation Force - against the anti-Christ's Global Community.


I also find it somewhat ironic that despite the objections that are often made by religious groups in regard to violent games, "Pastors and youth leaders recommend the game to their parishioners".

Personally I think the concept would make a pretty good mud, too, although I'd rather give players the choice between good and evil (I often thought the movie "" would make a good mud).
