Lookie what I found. It's approach is highly sarcastic, but I still thought it was nice to see some breakthrough. (Sorry for the loading time :sweat:

They had a couple Christian titles in PC Gamer's "10 Weirdest Games of all Time" a while back. Guess they were trying to imply something ... :sweat:

Very sarcastic, but as it has been said, there is no such thing as bad press.

Well, it's good to see, but I'm more saddened than anything. As you said, it felt highly sarcastic. You say that was in "Wired?" Hm. I didn't quite expect that of them. Ah well.

Jesus, playing... Video games!?! I have to re-think my life! *Walks off saying "Video games ARE good!"*

If you think Jesus never did anything fun in His life, you probably have some issues with your hermaneutic. I'm not so sure if He lived in this time He wouldn't ever play video games. There's question, of course, what he would play.

Sorry, I was just working off the "sarcastic" thing. Next time i'll be more careful :dizzy:

You know, in the Infancy Gospel of Thomas they have him making songbirds out of mud when he was a child (not at all canonical, but it presents an interesting image).

1 This little child Jesus when he was five years old was playing at the ford of a brook: and he gathered together the waters that flowed there into pools, and made them straightway clean, and commanded them by his word alone. 2 And having made soft clay, he fashioned thereof twelve sparrows. And it was the Sabbath when he did these things (or made them). And there were also many other little children playing with him.

3 And a certain Jew when he saw what Jesus did, playing upon the Sabbath day, departed straightway and told his father Joseph: Lo, thy child is at the brook, and he hath taken clay and fashioned twelve little birds, and hath polluted the Sabbath day. 4 And Joseph came to the place and saw: and cried out to him, saying: Wherefore doest thou these things on the Sabbath, which it is not lawful to do? But Jesus clapped his hands together and cried out to the sparrows and said to them: Go! and the sparrows took their flight and went away chirping. 5 And when the Jews saw it they were amazed, and departed and told their chief men that which they had seen Jesus do.

Yeah, I know it was sarcasm, Matthew. I'm just making a point.

The picture of Jesus playing video games is funny.
