I think it's time to drink our "punch" there's nothing else left in life you could ever seen,because when you've seen this...you've seen everything.

These guy's seem alright. No overzealous forcing of it onto people, just good natured drinking and gaming and hey, if you want to accept Jesus into your life then so be it. I'll stick to Atheism though.
That really shouldn't be a problem.
Jesus said himself that you don't need to follow a specific believe system to get into heaven, just be a good person.
So you really shouldn't have anything to worry about either way.

As a devout Christian...

This is the most awesome thing I have ever seen. ... Ever.

Someone get this to the Pope. Right now. He needs to see this. He needs to be enlightened to the fact that we can have our religion and our Team Deathmatch in the same room.

Eh, I saw them at Gen Con, and honestly I didn't see the point. They were okay and all, not that I have a problem with them or anything, but how does it affect anything? So there are some Christian gamers. Would that make God's existence any more or less true? Sure, they're more tolerant towards gamers, but let's face it, we're like #12 at best in groups demonized by organized religion? Does this Gamechurch still think that nonbelievers will go to hell? Do they oppose educating students about evolution and global warning? Are they activists against gay marriage and other LGBT rights? Those issues are far more important than a religious believer's hobbies.

Nice idea, always good to see some people changing with the times.

Although I do disagree with their statement. Not to get all smug atheist up in here, but if Jesus were around today he'd probably be in a mental hospital for extreme illusions of grandeur haha.

It's interesting how people find something like this unusual. I mean, most of my friends that I play games with are people that I've met at church. And we talk about games at church. Not that we don't do regular churchy stuff too, of course.
I know, right? Kinda makes me sad that A.) There are so many dipshits in the news making us all look intolerant and stupid and opening the flood-gates to generalizations. and B.) There are people out there that buy those generalizations.

But, eh. No use letting that annoyance take priority of my feelings toward this comic and the organization. These guys are pretty chill, quite realistic, and they're bringing a positive message at the same time. Plus beer!

[I wonder if they were actually playing Dead Rising 2. If so, holy guacamole that is perfection, right there).

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.

Uuumm...you do know that a goose is a bird, right? I mean, what you said is like saying "clearly that's a dog not a canine" or "that's clearly a toaster not an appliance."
(-_-")

Not being rude, just saying.

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?
I'm not sure if this counts as irony, but Jesus is kind of a zombie in his own way.

Ha! I was totaly going for that, but then I remembered the "dine of my flesh and blood" part ...so, that would make Christ more like a Vampire O.O?
No, Lazarus was the true original zombie, having risen after rotting-away for four days in a cave at around 40°C

Heh, a pretty cool thing. I'm no religious type but I have gamer friends who still go to church on Sundays and no one makes any deal of them going or me never going. People like that should do like this group is doing and try to make their casual approach to their religion more accepted as normal and the leaders.
