              Last month, we reported
that U.S. attorney and Christian conservative activist Jack Thompson is
threatening Take-Two for Grand Theft Auto IV ahead of the game's
October 17, 2007 release. 

Last week, it was revealed that Take-Two is suing Thompson for trying to declare GTA IV and Manhunt 2 public nuisances.

Now, the legal battle between Take-Two and Jack Thompson continues and
in the latest round, Thompson has gone messianic by including several
biblical allegations and explanations for this crusade against GTA. The
following is an open letter issued by Thompson. 

We swear to God we haven't modified the text below. Seriously.

Dear Gamers and Gamer Publications on the Internet and Elsewhere:

I have been praying, literally, that Take-Two and its lawyers would do
something so stupid, so arrogant, so dumb, even dumber than what they
have to date done, that such a misstep would enable me to destroy
Take-Two. With the filing of this SLAPP lawsuit last week, my prayers
are finally answered.

This lawsuit, filed in US District Court for the Southern District
of Florida, is, without a doubt, the single dumbest thing I have ever
seen any lawyers do in my thirty years of practicing law -- while in
continuous good standing to do so with The Florida Bar, I might add,
the shock radio and video game industry's efforts notwithstanding.

I encourage folks to read Psalm 35, a Psalm of David, which is
brilliant in its entirety (since God Himself wrote it), but for those
who don't own a Bible or who think their hands will catch on fire if
they touch one, here is the salient portion that applies to this
lawsuit:

7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit,
which without cause they have digged for my soul.

8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares;
and let his net that he hath hid catch himself:
into that very destruction let him fall.

9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD:
it shall rejoice in his salvation.

The pit Take-Two has dug for itself will be patently clear next
week when I strike back. Oh, and by the way, the entire Take-Two
management and board will be gone on March 23, so this pit-digging
comes at a very bad time indeed.

Amen, and Praise be to God Almighty, maker of Heaven, Earth, and yes, the maker even video games. 

Jack Thompson

God wrote Psalm 35?   If you are going to quote the bible for such trivial stuff at the very least get the facts straight. That way your trip to hell will be less painful. UP Next: Jack Thompson accuses Jesus Christ of being the real mastermind behind the musical, Jesus Christ Superstar.

P.S. To the hypocrites at TXB.  It's not nice to swear to God.
