Religious song not removed or changed in Bioshock Infinite Trailer

The game Bioshock Infinite, if like it's predecessors, will touch on American Values taken to a new limit. The previous games have often tested the line between sanity and chaos when it comes to beliefs, both religious and scientific. The game's most recent trailer caused an uproar when the lyrics to a song contained the word "Lord" and was deemed blasphemous, due to the context of the game and subsequent trailer. Will the Circle be Unbroken, sung by Courtnee Draper, the voice actress who plays Elizabeth in the game, is far different and better than the original. 

 

People got confused on the interwebz as they do, and got the lyrics from the original track and compared with this cover version, which does not actually contain the word Lord. The original lyrics from Ada R. Habershon written in 1907 does contain the word in the chorus, however, the song's lyrics were changed in 1912 and more versions and covers were changed by and by, through the years. Great artist's such as Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash have covered the song and changed it too...

 


Irrational Games Ken Levine confirmed this via Twitter saying that the word "Lord does not" feature in their new trailer. This is quite a different religious uproar from the removal of a song from the Little Big Planet soundtrack which contained an Islamic verse. It's seems strange to me what religious people will and won't allow in their video games.

Fucking Religious nuts can't take even the slightest constructive criticism when it comes to their ridiculous beliefs, but they say you go to Hell for half of what normal people do every day.

this is y all religions should be expunged and nullified, if there were no religions, then half of the worlds problems would be solved....of course it wouldnt stop wars and stuff entirely *cough* looking at u bush *cough* i see plain logic in unified theories, not some crazy shit about a virgin and many gods with 8 legs or whatever.

i still get the chills when i hear that "jesus loves me, this i know" song from the first Bioshock, and no one bitched about that...

i wish people would just stand up to special interest groups for once. tell them that thier 500-1000 members DO NOT represent the whole society.

Good on them for not changing something pertaining to a fantasy world just because some real-life idiots think it is blasphemous to their fantasy savior.

lol, obviously come Christians gone hard on the downvotes, simply because people don't hold the same beliefs. Funny that they seem to preach diversity and acceptance, then hate everyone who doesn't agree.

No religion = Stealing is ok, violence is ok, sex everywhere is ok, cursing is ok, etc. To put it simply, every individual has no value because there is no faith (because everyone is alone in this vast expansive universe, where would you go after you die? Nothingness?). Problems of this world comes when religion is not taken into account. All religion teaches peace and ways of life. Even if you have religion, ignoring its application in solving crisis will only lead to further issues..

One more thing, no religion also means freedom. Freedom to do anything you like. Even the negative ones. Your living proof, many can be found living in alleys and streets of your cities. Though, among them some is destined to live that way for everyone to think. And only those who think realize there is a better way of life. Living by principle. What is better principle than those provided by religion? You don't make your own life principle, its the same as being free (no religion) and will bound to change to satisfy your lust.

"All religion teaches peace and ways of life" Religion actually teaches oppression and restriction of freedom of free thought, and the bigger the religion the more dangerous it is because they get used as a tool for segregation and control so you can conquer lands and force your beliefs on the population and be taught that this is a good religion so you should go to war with everyone from that religion, which has made religion the most destructive force there has ever been in history and played a major part in almost every major war ever, so really if people want to use religion as a tool to guide themselves to being a better person then i'm all for that, but really history has absolutely shown it gets used as another form of oppressive control.

What absolute rubbish.

I'm struggling to think of even one war in the last couple of hundred years that was truly fought over religion. Even the Thirty Years War between the Protestant and Catholic European powers wasn't motivated by religion, but by the typical things - power, land, more prosperity and privileges - the typical things. The First and Second World Wars? These also were fought for control and power, territory and prosperity. Religion had absolutely fudge-all to do with either of them.

Honestly, you radical religion bashers are like a bunch of supercilious schoolgirls - tormenting your fellow classmates for wearing a brand of clothes that do not meet your approval. How religion could have had such a negative effect on your lives to justify your blasting it on the net in such zealous fashion is hard for me to understand, and paints you in my mind as utter narcissists. You might not want religion to be part of your life, but please don't insult others by proclaiming religion to be the greatest curse of human kind just because you chose to have it make you feel uncomfortable. I mean, who the hell are you?

It's pretty arrogant to assume people would not have come up with their own laws without religion. Our laws now don't even fully comply with the decalogue... Only three of them are illegal. Unless you mean Christianity... Even they break God's laws.

Regarding value to the individual if there is no hereafter, I'd say that makes life sooo much more valuable. If you know you'll keep on living, maybe get into heaven if you are sincere enough when you say you're sorry (gotta love redemption), then where's the incentive to make the most out of your life the first time? To make your mark on the world in the short time you have?

In the end, you can follow your religion all you want. Don't assume I don't have morals because I don't necessarily believe in the man upstairs. You have no right to do that.

agreed. Thou shall not kill, unless you are killing a bunch of heathen brown people with turbans in thy Lord's name.
