I know that feel bro =(

Stuff you could try:
Switch backends. There are at least three different ways of running LCS on Wine (at least on *NIX) and all yielded different results for me when I last checked.

If that won't work, you could try to switch to another version of Wine. If that still won't work, if I recall correctly someone managed to get LCS to run on DOS, so you could try on DosBox using the HX DOS Extender (http://www.japheth.de/HX.html). I'm not sure on the last one though. I'd appreciate if someone who has actually done that stuff would appear here and explain how to do it in detail.

As I said before, I don't have anything against a church being shot up (in a video game), but I think some Jesus Camp / Academy of Moral Righteousness is better for the satire. However, I think it's better to have both in one - having a dirty and stinky camp surround a lavish McCathedral points out a flaw or two in certain aspects of religion. I find it odd that my local church has hundreds of really expensive golden lamps (inside information claims they cost ~1 million dollars apiece) and yet they advocate charity over excessive luxury.

Oh, that's weird then. Is it the latest release or built from trunk?

EDIT: Has anyone else noticed that we have both "Crackheads" and "Crack Heads"?

Recently I've just picked some random liberal thought that crosses my mind. My current game is focused on stealthy thieves, and the slogan is "Liberating matter will free minds!" which didn't sound so impressive when I started but reached some strange philosophical depth later that evening, about one hour after I should've gone to sleep.

If I remember correctly I suggested a list for possible names a long ago. Something along the lines of "Federal Academy for Moral Education" when C+, C-L would be either <name> Bible Academy or Camp <Christian term here>. On L+, the site could turn into a legal monastery that is completely unsupported by the Government, or turn into some fundamentalist terrorist training camp for regaining its past glory. The appearance of the site should get less decorate as secularism grows.

I must check the files that control site creation, and see if I can add some more site decoration options. Fountains, carpets, and decorated walls would be awesome outside the religious compound as well.

I don't have anything against "attacking" religion in LCS, I just find that a church is a bad way to attack it. Instead of attacking the conservative values, you're just killing people. In a church, there are only a few "true" conservatives preaching to others, who are just victims from even the liberal viewpoint (if they aren't, religion isn't oppressive and shouldn't be attacked at all). It's like trying to undermine Cable news by killing everyone who watches them.

I disagree with your numbered points though.

1. A church is not a part of the political establishment. It's a clubhouse for religious people. Would be a whole different thing if it was the Federal Council of Clerics or something but you'd only find those in C+ societies anyway. The camp would be better in this aspect, as they've been criticized in real life for receiving undue funding and they actually involve pushing values on other people.

2. A church is not a place where people are converted. People who go to church are already religious to some extent. A salvation camp would be better in this aspect.

3. This is true, but I don't think the church is the center of this. Don't televangelists usually stay clear of the "traditional" churches?

4. and 5. This is a pretty good reason to include some religious satire in the game, but I still think it doesn't highlight why a church should be the site to raid.

6. Including the conversion therapy in the salvation camp would of course be good.


EDIT: Oh, and I don't see the church as some unifying symbol of Christian faith. Like I said before, I consider it to be a clubhouse, a meeting place for the religious. I have no ideological opposition for including it, only that I don't think it makes sense.

I'm not uncomfortable with Liberals attacking anything, it's just a game. I just don't find attacking churches, mega- or otherwise, funny, and I don't see the political point of doing so. Why would liberals attack the church? To kill a bunch of religious conservatives is the only reason I can find, but I never saw LCS as a game about killing people but a game about killing people for political purposes. What is the political message of killing people at a church? "Don't be religious!" No, Liberals don't care about non-offensive faith. "Don't give them money, they're evil!" People have always been supporting organizations they agree with with donations, religious or otherwise. "They're just a corporation selling fake salvation and indulgences!" would be probably the best one, but I still think that utterly, utterly lame compared to a salvation camp.

I still disagree. A church is not something Liberals would oppose. Everyone is there voluntarily, practicing their freedom of religion, and they're not hurting anyone else doing so. While LCS tends to go to wacky extremes, shooting up a church is about as Liberal as blowing up a school.
