Real life Evangilizing in The World of Warcraft
January 17th, 2005
Ok.. this article is downritght scary. Its also sad that people have this kind of view on gaming.
*shakes head*
Nothing upsets me more than this kind of Ignorance.
Winning Souls to Christ in The World of Warcraft: “Billy Houston, a Landover Baptist Senior High youth, has been sharing Jesus in the virtual gaming world for over three years. ‘I evangelized in Lineage 2, Everquest, Diablo, and a bunch of other games,’ he says, ‘but I haven’t seen nearly as many people who are as open to hearing the Gospel message as I have inside the World of Warcraft.’ Billy has what gamers call, a Level 57 Undead Priest with Holy Focus. ‘I’m also in one of the largest Christian guilds on our server,’ he says. ‘I think the reason so many people are open to hearing about Jesus in the World of Warcraft is because the majority of people who play the game are lonely kids who don’t have any friends. I doubt any of them play sports so you can pretty much guess that there are lots of gay boys and fat little pale-faced Wiccan girls on the servers who hate themselves and escape into virtual characters so they don’t have to deal with their pathetic lives. When they hear that someone loves them, even if it is just the Lord Jesus Christ, they always want to hear more!’”
Billy, I really pity you.
OMG… THis little fucker.
First off, take a good look at the website itself. WOW.. the unsaved are not welcome. Great. Then check out this gem:
“I have a hot-key macro that broadcasts, Jesus Loves You! Please Love Him Back or He Will Burn You in Hell! PM Me if you want to learn more! across four channels. I do it right when I log in. I usually get PM’d (Private Messaged) by a few characters who I then add to my buddy list. I follow them around the game, across snow-capped mountains, and blasted wastelands until they accept Christ or persecute me so much that I have to report them to the server administrators for making fun of my religion. I think I’ve been responsible for getting over thirty accounts suspended for bigotry directed at me because of my faith.”
What a dick.

Yeah. Total Joke site. This was the place that had a joke T-Shirt - on the front were various Hindu gods, and on the back: a picture of Jesus recommending them to “simplify!”
