ID quakes the gaming world again

from the demoralizer-canon dept.
ID software, innovators of the first person shooter video game genre with the release of Wolfenstein 3D, set the gaming world on fire with Doom. To follow it up, they were the first to release a truly three dimentional environment with Quake.
How can they top all this? With their next breakthrough, the ethically nonviolent Quaker.
In Quaker, you roam through a 19th century countryside trading platitudes with bucolic peasants and townspeople. Armed with nothing but a sense of moral fortitude and a love of your fellow man, you steadfastly refuse various temptations and live a Christlike existence. “We wanted to break the mold again, by removing the necessity for violence and a goal.”

Has anyone gotten past the chanting infidels on Level 3? I'm stumped.

it's pretty simple if you've collected enough righteous indignance globes. If you've got enough, the infidels will actually part as you walk towards them. They keep chanting though, which can be disconcerting. I'm stuck on level five, where I keep getting burned at the stake by Puritans. I can't figure out a non-violent way to avoid them.

There is a hidden door behind the podium in the church (pull the candlestick). Walk past the chained up bent over alter boys (remember to avoid temptation) and exit through the back of the church where you will meet pedro, the 13'th deciple. He will tell you he is also a dealer for the church and offer to get you stoned.
Answer 'yes' then crouch quickly as he throws stones at you. Pick them up when he is finished and use them against the Puritans.
As they are holy stones, you are righteous to throw them and won't get burnt.

Okay, now I'm stuck in level 8. I was captured by a tribe practicing voodoo and buried alive. I've been trying to figure out how to get out of the coffin for about two weeks now. Does anyone know of a cheats site for this game???

See, that's the odd thing. People have become used to resisting temptation, and decided not to even offer cheats.

I heard that in the later levels you can aquire a Jehovah's Witness sidekick who has a car that can get you through a portal in time.

You don't “acquire” him–He knocks on the door to the rectory on level 11 and if you open it, you can't get rid of him. Just wait in the rectory for five minutes past the end of the knocking if you want to avoid him–but be sure you don't do anything that makes noise, or he will never go away.
But he does have a car, which you will need to outrun the Mormon Missionaries on bicycles that start showing up everywhere you go after you give that mormon chick your phone number at the University in level 12.
