I'm saying the person making a Bible version of the game is stupid.
I thought you'd agree with that sentiment.
Sorry... thought you were refereing to the post as "stupid" - some of the posters here have me on edge... I'm used to someone flaming me for the sole purpose of trying to get a reaction.
I do agree w/ the bible version being lame. Teachable moment for me (open mouth, insert foot...) We really should have a smiley that relates "open mouth - insert foot!
No worries, I misread stuff myself all the time. I just ask you to be careful; advice I would give myself.
I'm going to stick with my assertion this guy just used Magic Set Editor to make his own Magic set (and that the set is lame) until someone presents more evidence about this whole thing.
Heh. I read this and all I could think of was Seppel's game, which is incidentally probably something of an antithesis to the game that the OP is referring to.

I have a working hypothesis that the whole reason "X is connected to Satan" rumors exist is just so they can sell "Christian X". Exhibit A, Christian rock. (Seriously, the amount of Christian memorabilia out there...)
Yeah, I could only think of Redemption.
EDIT: Also, religion on Craigslist? "Yeah, I'm only hoping to, err, redeem the guys I meet there. I also spend a lot of time praying with guys on Chatroulette. Why?"
Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
Didn't MTG had to cave in to pressure from idiotic mom/christian/censorship groups? They stopped printing "demon" type cards as well as using terms like "divine" and "holy".
They even changed the official descriptions of Black and White, which both used to use words like "Good" and "Evil" in their descriptions on starter/web material and instead used words like law, order, greed, etc.
That was my biggest surprise after coming back from a very long hiatus was seeing this policy reversed and MTG full of Demons and evil stuff in black once again.
So I take it blue and black are extremely underpowered, green has been removed from the game and its existence denied, and white has all the power with a teency-tiny splash of red.

With the exception of blue and black being extremely underpowered, that's called Alpha.
What color(s) are Yahweh? I think he would be RWB.
Is God's whole deal with Abraham rendered as life payment? Does Jesus have undying? Is Judas Murderous Betrayal on legs? But what I really want to know is: Is the Book of Mormon silver-border?
I really want to play Isaac Stax. Basically it's like Ghave, only before you sacrifice a saproling, an angel comes by and says "lol no God's just trolling".

Take your monoblack deck, then set aside 14 swamps. Add 4 Creeping Tar Pits, 4 Darkslick Shores, 4 Drowned Catacombs, and 2 Jwar isle Refuge and add 4 Jace, the Mindsculptors. Your monoblack deck is instantly better. Better yet, drop those refuges, throw in some islands and some mana leaks, and lo and behold, you're now playing a real deck. Congratulations.

I don't mind, it doesn't affect me in anyway and I don't see anything harmful about it. If they want to make a "Christian" version of MTG and there are people that want this version of MTG, I say have at it.

Actually, white always had some evil elements to it. It is the color that says "kill em all and let God sort em out", and this is just too cute in the same game as this.
