Thompson: 'God behind Take-Two stock fall'
Infamous anti-gaming lawyer Jack Thompson has said that God is behind Take-Two's falling stock value.

Thompson has campaigned against violence in video games, with the Grand Theft Auto series a primary target, for several years.

In a series of e-mails with Game Politics, he commented on publisher Take Two's stock, stating: "God Strikes Take-Two Down."

He defended his claim by targeting chairman Strauss Zelnick, saying: "If you had any understanding of the Bible and of God you would understand that persecution comes Christians' way, and we are blessed by it. There is no blessing for Zelnick, who is not a Christian, when he gets what he deserves."

The lawyer was recently disbarred for public misconduct.
