Faith Fighter: People complain, God doesn't

This morning I followed a link on my friend's tweet and it brought me to this article. It's about the game 'Faith Fighter', where you can chose between God, Jesus, Buddha, Ganesha, Budai and Muhammad to fight against each other. Of coursereligious people started complaining, this time all of them were united and demanding the game has to be banned, it's disrespectful and similar bla bla we keep hearing everytime someone tells a Jesus joke or a Muhammad cartoon...
So I went to check out the game myself and it's fun. They even give you the choice to chose Muhammad censored (see picture below). That's a good joke, it made me think which Muslim would chose the censored one? Would he chose the uncesnored one? Or would he chose none? It's funny to imagine. Same goes for Christians. Big question: Should I chose God or Jesus? For me it's a fun game, you should try it out and just not take it seriously. And I hope it won't get banned, because if you're so offended by a game like this, then first of all - question your own faith. Are you really that petty? Can't you rise above these kind of earthly nonsense?
I think the core issue of things like these is that a joke has a lot of truth in it. The more you can laugh about religion, the more you realize it is a big hoax. I tolerate religious people who keep their religion or beliefs personal. But I hate those phonies who don't practise what they preach. They're usually the loudest when it comes to complaints, that's why I'm happy if this game is another thing that will make them upset. (and if you liked that game, here's another funny blog for you: The Jesus Gang, enjoy).
