Yay for cool Jesus!

Now THIS is how to recruit Christians!

 

[Cori Thomas]

Makes me want to convert back to Christianity. Almost.

What's with the bird wearing glasses? I don't get it....

What are the six levels of irony there? Let us count the ways.
1. Jesus playing videogames
2. A Theme park mascot playing videogames
3. Jesus as a theme park mascot
4. A church condoning videogames
5. Said church condoning Dead Rising
6. And the doozy, Said jesus-Theme-park-mascot playing Dead Rising 2 with a hilariously awkward partner.

Any others I missed?

 

[Something Amyss]

Only six?

On the plus side, DR2 does have carpentry...In a manner of speaking. I mean, no way do you really duct tape nails to a baseball bat.

 

[Imp_Emissary]

Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition!

I have to admit, most of the time when I see a religion trying to be "cool" I die a bit inside, but this brings a smile to my face.

(Disclaimer: God is the truth, religion is the lie.)

What's with the bird wearing glasses? I don't get it....

See it's clearly a goose not a bird; but I have to agree with the sentiment. The first thing I noticed was a goose wearing corrective lenses. I can handle a giant bobblehead Jesus playing Dead Rising 2, but I don't know if I can deal with waterfowl sporting eye-wear.

The fact that he's playing dead rising, and Jesus rose from the dead?

Probably the big one...

And finally, this is a church I can get behind. I'm not a fan of organised religion, though I have no problem with people who believe in god.

But putting a headset on Jesus? Yeah, you've won me over.

Jesus was dead and came back to life. Dead Rising. See?

Edit: Ninja'd one minute early.

 

[NinjaDeathSlap]

Now THAT is a church I would sign up to!

^ and this is coming from a person who's family had to flee N.Ireland during the troubles. You don't get many people more put off of Christianity that me, just to add some context.

CAPTCHA: plembert 2,256... I have a sudden desire to make a kids cartoon set in space with that name.

That was supposed to be #6, granted it doesn't come over as clearly as intended.

As mentioned, that was supposed to be #6, I got carried away with the rest of the circumstances.

 

[CM156_v1legacy]

This gets quite a thumbs up from me. I'd be there. Sounds like a whole lot of fun.

I'd play Halo with Jesus. On Legendary.

Doesn't sound like a good idea. If he dies, it'll take him three days to respawn

OT: Now this is a fun idea. I approve!

 

[Azure-Supernova]

To be honest I can really understand their point and i kind of dig it. If Jesus came back tomorrow you know he'd want to kick back and relax. And while he's at it he could resurrect John Lennon and they could duke it out on Mortal Kombat, I'm sure Jesus has a bone to pick with him after that comment.

I like these guys. Who says religion can't change with the times?

 

[Ulquiorra4sama]

I signed up to their website... does this make me a religious man?

Just a shame i can't attend. I would've loved to get me some free beer.
