The "army of the damned" in that picture is the armed group that is killing the unarmed group.  The unarmed group are the Christians, specifically three woman singers (one falling at left, one still standing to her right, and one fallen - dead - at the bottom) and a doctor (the man with the long white coat).  There is no "convert or kill" promoted in the game at all.  In fact, trying to win by killing is strongly denounced in the game and killing often makes you lose (each level has certain goals and avoiding violence is often one of the goals).</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5352263427762940860/9208993823895009084/comments/default/429634667631926638'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5352263427762940860/9208993823895009084/comments/default/429634667631926638'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://canterburyatheists.blogspot.com/2008/11/sick-pc-game-book-sets-out-to-kill.html?showComment=1226946420000#c429634667631926638' title=''/><author><name>Jinx McHue</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01708225059286944653</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://canterburyatheists.blogspot.com/2008/11/sick-pc-game-book-sets-out-to-kill.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5352263427762940860.post-9208993823895009084' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5352263427762940860/posts/default/9208993823895009084' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
