The Christians all have &#8220;Pray&#8221; under their special ability section.  Like, there&#8217;s a woman who&#8217;s the Worship Leader, and her special abilities are &#8220;Pray, Crowd Worship&#8221;  When you equip her with &#8220;music&#8221; and &#8220;public speaking&#8221; training, she gets the ability to &#8220;positively rivet the audience nearby.&#8221;<br \/>\nAwesome.  But she doesn&#8217;t cuss.<br \/>\nNo.  Bad guys have &#8220;Swearing&#8221; as their special abilities.  All of them.  For example, non-Christian musicians get special abilties &#8220;Swear, Sing&#8221; or &#8220;Swear, Play&#8221;, or &#8212; for the Level 3 Rock Star &#8212; &#8220;Swear, Perform Concert&#8221;  And she wears a scanty blouse-thing, which should tip you off that she&#8217;s fixin&#8217; to swear.<br \/>\nALL the bad guys have &#8220;swear&#8221; as their special ability?<br \/>\nYes.  It&#8217;s pretty realistic of the end-times, when cussing will increase ten-fold.  The Gangster bad guy has &#8220;Swear, Rumble&#8221;, the soldier has &#8220;Swear, Explosive Bullets&#8221; and thief, curiously, has &#8220;Swear, Pickpocket, Poison&#8221;, which is an awesome name for the next Shaun Groves CD, in my opinion.<br \/>\nSwear, Pickpocket, Poison?<br \/>\nSwear, Pickpocket, Poison.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sometimes it&#8217;s really embarrassing being a Christian.<br \/>\nBTW, go read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xanga.com\/branthansen\/497016390\/item.html\">this post <\/a>written by the same blogger, he is really funny and this story made me laugh so hard I cried.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tag_list\">Tags: <span class=\"tags\"><a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Christianity\" rel=\"tag\">Christianity<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/video\" rel=\"tag\">video<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Christian\" rel=\"tag\">Christian<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/religion\" rel=\"tag\">religion<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is a report from someone who actually played the game, so this cannot be considered rumormongering: How can you tell who the bad guys are?
