It should NOT be withdrawn. Thats rediculous.. and the church doesnt own the things. They have done a hundred years ago when they were still persecuting people for not following their guidelines but this is the 21st century - and its bout time the church realised they no longer have ultimate control over what is done, and what people do.

Sheesh!!! In the game we SAVE the church from aliens!!! God d*mn it!! (sorry)

Just make use of the freedom of speech. Case closed. Sony owns.

Have they nothing better to do????????????? Does it really matter????????????

It's free speech when we're defacing Prophet Muhammed (p.b.u.h.).

They don't have a case...  absolutely assinine.  After Sony didn't give them the "contribution" they requested in compensation for using a church "Representation", they are just mad.  Guess they thought they would get a payoff to help pay for all those molestation cases.

arnt we protecting the church in the game........ making it completly relevent to the time fram in witch the game was deliverd in....

so its actually a positve...

The church lost soooo much attention throughout the last 50 years...

They're desperately trying to get back some of the lost attention. lol I feel nearly sad for them :P --> nope, just kidding

that makes no since we use entire citys and no one can do anything whats wrong with a church.  also they said something like 6 months after the game came out

lol you mods have got to the point where you cant find anything interesting or new in the gaming world, so you post something this irrelevant? Who really cares, find something entertaining or new.

Well, maybe they should contact the chimeran homeplanet and let the chimeran council leaders know about their displeasure with their choice of locations to pillage and capture!!!!, Ya Know what they'd say? GrrrrrrGGrrrrrrr blabrgegeg. and then they'd launch a spire right into the center of their town!!!! that's what they'd do!

I really didn't think the Church could get any more pathetic, and yet they prove me wrong again. Hmm, great move CofE, this kind of nonsnece will really get the punters back in through the doors and not make you look like a bunch of out-of-touch muppets.

Come on...its stupidity like this that gives unbelievers reason to dislike the Christian religion. They make it sound like you have a mission to go an distroy the building. Its a fictionary period were europe has fallen, people used the church for safe haven....our interaction with the church was to kill all the aliens in it. If anything the game lets us purify the building from the band of ominus-intented beings that are defiling the building with their very presense.  Yes I can see how depicting violence in the church my be disturbing, but just looking at the setting should justify why it is being done.....jeez, you could have sworn that they showed people in the church during high mass and all of a sudden you start going ape-sh!t shooting everything. I'm a Christian believer and I think this "very rev" is blowing this way out of purportion.

what I hate the most about this is that so many movies have depicted churches and other such houses of worship in scense of war, but you don't hear complaining. These people don't view video games as a viable form of entertainment, which I find offensive. The church just needs to shutup and fall into obscurity.

f#@k the church

i bet it was a M$ noob who told the church abo0ut this!

Its just a videogame for crying out loud!!! These people act like, Sony actually went to the cathedral and really destroyed it.

haters

Stupid religions.

All bull**** lies!

The Church should look at their own history, they have done far worse than what happens in Resistence. The Church years ago would make Manhunt 2 seem like a Viva Pinata game.

Other churches don't mind when film crews come in and blow the place up for a movie. As long as they get the cash, thats all whats really important to them.

gee, and they're wondering why less and less people are going to church in europe, I wonder why.

the church should go to hel!. its a public building. i think its cool that they put it in the game, they could have just put it in the background on fire or something. what woulda been better

stupid people trying to take it out

I'v got the game, the church pissed me off so much I now refuse to save the church from the aliens! By the way the more the church tries to refuse us the right to be free and independant the more people will turn against them and we will become the aliens and fight against the church and who wil the church turn to? Gamers, thank you!

I find it funny that there is outrage when Resistance has a unnamed church in it, but there is only mixed feelings when halo 3 is played in ACTUAL churches.

I wonder why the church just doesn't see it as free publicity,I mean if I am ever in england I will probably look it up just so I can say I've been there.I might even stay for a confession or two ;)

what BS. in case you didn't know, they game takes place in Europe, a WAR. and what happens during WARS? buildings get destroyed. its called a THEME. deal with it.

wow the church is getting pathetic...

Is it that difficult to admit that its a fictional game?
