I guess it all depends on the type of church it is. For the more fundamentalist churches that don't approve of secular entertainment (movies, music, etc) I think this would be a hypocritical act. But for other places that just see this as a tool to connect with younger church members I see this as an advertisement about the beliefs of the church: "in the world but not of the world" and also "we know this game says 17+ but we know you play it anyway."
I think its a bit different than the child molester analogy because the intent isn't A:illegal (kidnapping, rape/murder) B:deemed socially inappropriate/harmful and C:is completely voluntary (and in most cases need an adult to get to the church, I'd imagine).

I think that people should find their way to whatever their religion is or will be, on their own.

Yup, I agree. But I don't begrudge anyone advertising. I have no problem telling people I'm not interested in something and neither should anyone else. It doesn't sound like the children were harassed and chained inside once they got there, and I'd hope that a 14 year old would no how to say "that's cool, but no thanks."
