I usually tend to ignore or laugh with mockeries. I think the world is too politically correct
If this were just a joke, it would be one thing, but it isn't. This game deliberately takes a major story from the Bible and corrupts it. If it were attacking a minority (other than Jews apparently), it would get lambasted, but because it attacks Christians and Jews, people laugh it off and say it's no big deal. I don't like political correctness either, but there's a difference between joking around and attacking a group.
So? They're free to do so. What difference will your offending make? People get attacked all the time through comedy.
I wouldn't call BoI a comedy. Besides, even in comedies, there's a line between joking and attacking. If BoI was a joke, it would be like a "your mom" joke making fun of a terminal disease your mom had. It takes a serious situation, twists and distorts it, and says "it was just a joke!" It would be completely reasonable to be upset by such a "joke", even if you could try to ignore it. As for what taking offense will do, it probably won't do anything, but it might keep the offensive material from getting somewhere (the eshop in BoI's case), and it might make others realize just how offensive the material is.

You aren't alone. I feel the exact same way... People laugh at things that make fun of Christians/Jews, yet the whole world gets in an uproar if someone does something that offends other religions.
seems like this discussion has taken a very complicated turn...... slowly leaves A.B.A.N.D.O.N. T.H.R.E.A.D.

I hope it does come out. First of all, it's a game. Give people a choice and warning before they play it. Similar to the airport level in one of those Call of Duty titles where you can kill civilians. Give people the choice to buy it. If it offends you, don't support the developer. The game is genuinely fun, let the people that want to play it on their portable device play it, instead of calling for it to never be released because it offends you personally.
It can come to the 3ds but if it does then I expect to see noak's ark 3d - snes & the bible game - gba on the virtual console for either 3ds or wii u. Also I have zero intension on ever supporting that game for the meer fact it mock's the bible. You can have your occulttic game that mocks the bible but I expect to see two virtual console releases if they truly put that garbage on the 3ds.
Super Noah's Ark - SNES
The Bible Game - GBA
Happy Gaming! (^_^)
Nobody owes you parity. Make your own damned game that promotes your ideas and get it put on the eShop.
I want this game BAD, by the way.

Lets use some forms of common sense both those games would be a licencing nightmare to get on the VC with practically no interest and neither the SNES or GBA are currently even supported platforms for the 3DS VC..

It is not a case of "Nintendo puts the binding of Isaac", it's more like "Nintendo allows the binding of Isaac".
It would be the same for your religious virtual console games. Nintendo simply won't go around wasting money so that those games will be on the 3DS, their developers or whatever company owns them should show interest first.
And again, since at least one of these (the snes one, dunno about the GBA one) was never even a legally released product, the chances of Nintendo even allowing them on the service are probably rather small. It would be like Nintendo adding Chinese super Mario bros knockoffs and Pokemon hacks to the virtual console.
no one is attacking you or your faith. faith is something totally personal. if you feel insulted by a GAME then you may ask yourself how strong your believe really is. no one is forcing you to play anything. games are art and a free form of expression.
i really don't understand your point. first you say you won't buy fantasy life because "god" told you not to buy it and now you feel insulted by a game you actually never played and even want to boycott nintendo if it really comes out someday. just relax and enjoy life
