    I don't seem to remember them objecting when Call of Duty had members of the 82nd Airborne using a bombed out church as a bunker. It's a location where there happens to be a fight. Real life is not Highlander and fights sometimes happen on holy ground. If you don't like it, don't buy the game.

    Name one thing the government does better than the private sector and I'll show you something that requires the use of force to accomplish.

    The article makes it sound like the whole point of the game is to shoot up a church. That's not the case at all.

    At Canterbury Cathedral (Kent, UK) you can see the place where the Archbishop of Canterbury (Thomas a Becket) was murdered in 1170.
