Today I went to the CES Gaming Pavilion, which is usually full of despair and sadness, especially for a games blogger covering a tech show. To my surprise, there was a huge crowd there. Was there actually something cooler than inflatable gaming chairs this year? Surely the crowd wasn't there for the slightly-too-old booth 'babes' they had lined up.


As I came closer to the crowd, I noticed people drinking beer. Ah, someone was giving out beer. Good move, I thought. I rounded a corner, passed a line, and found that at the front of the line was a huge banner that showed Jesus Christ holding an Xbox 360 controller. Under the sign was an old man in bartender clothing manning a Sam Adams tap. Seriously?


Gamechurch.com is trying to turn the traditional Christian view on its head. Beer is a good way of doing that. So is the "Jesus Games" bumper sticker that they handed me. I was also handed some witnessing materials. Among them was a book titled "Jesus For The Win." It references the Bible, The Matrix, and likens the Holy Book to a 500GB hard drive. I read all the materials. My brain is scrambled now.



Another promotional card featured a picture of Jesus with a headset on and a controller in his hand. The Twitter bird is sitting on Jesus' shoulder. Really. They are having a Twitter contest here at CES. And again, promoting that they have free beer.


If you're down with the idea that Jesus would be a gamer in the present day, you might want to check out Gamechurch.com. If you're here at CES and like free beer, head to the North Hall.

He would, but he'd have a PS3 :mokken:

Or in Ringo's case, he's be a member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race :hmph:

Everyone knows the 360 is a sin :sad3:
 
If he is a gamer, he wouldn't like Xbox. He wouldn't like liars who rip innocent people off and sell them stuff that breaks quickly or doesn't work right. :( (*coughZunecough*)

He's own a PS3 or a Snes. :D

Oh well, Jesus Christ will just be happy they are talking about him (in a positive way, right?). ^.^

That didn't even look like Jesus, or at least matched him. They should have used this one:

I wonder though, if he played shooter games how he'd handle it. He'd probably turn the weapons into sticks or twizzlers. :p
 
Why are you concerned about what 'looks like' Christ? I think he died before the invention of the camera :tehe:

Or even paint, i'd imagine :jtc:

For one, WHY ISN'T JESUS BLACK? :rage:

'Cause Jesus has an image to maintain xD

We have paintings of him, of course. They could have used that instead of what they made. The one they used, his beard is completely messed up. Jesus' beard was a lot bigger and more pointed out.
hmpf.gif
 
And considering people thought he was the Messiah they could edit him to look all enlightened and shit :mokken:

Also if that's the case, WHY IS HE WHITE? :rage: /turning this into a religious debate of Jesus' ethnicity
 
Exactly, and i'm sure the White Man would have loathed his guts in that day, what with him being a Demi-God and all :mokken: and showing up all their science shizz
