Winning Souls to Christ in The World of Warcraft
Christian Video Gaming News


Christian game enthusiasts around the US are turning the world of Azeroth inside the new video game, "World of Warcraft" into a mission field, where virtual battles are fought and real souls are won to the Lord Jesus Christ.

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."

...The World of Warcraft is ripe for eager young Christian evangelists to ply their trade. "I'm studying to be a missionary at Liberty University, in Lynchburg, Virginia," says one gamer (who prefers to remain anonymous) and sharing the Good News of Jesus in Azeroth is a great way to practice soulwinning in Arkansas, where I'm from originally. I think that when Jesus said in Mark 16:15, Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, He knew that True Christians™ like me in the future, would be called into virtual worlds where we'd be witnessing to gnomes, trolls, night elves and all sorts of other creatures...

...Christian gamers are also excited that they are able to live out their faith in the same way the early True Christians™ did, before their religion was sissified by liberalism, science, and political correctness. "It is such a rush to kill other players who refuse to accept Jesus Christ as Lord," says one gamer. "I feel like I can really practice my faith the way God intended it. It is like I'm fighting alongside Christians of old, instead of the pansies and sissies from my Sunday school class."

...Young Billy explains that it is very simple to announce the message of God's love across the World of Warcraft game channels. "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.

...and the Lord proclaimed that he shall pwnzor all the Undead and Dark Elves and the other noob-infidels, and sell their phat lewt on E-bay! Praise Jesus!
 
That settles it then. My buying WoW decision is down to the following 2:
1) No, because I'm NOT listening to those assholes preach to me while they kick my ass.
2) Yes, so I can start giving them quotes from the Qu'aran to piss them off.

Decisions, decisions...

If you are not aware of the fact, Landover Baptist Church is satirical in nature.

Not to say that such things don't exist in one form or another.

Thank God you told me that Kotario. It really boils my blood when I know of people doing such distasteful things as a way of spreading what they should know isnt supposed to be distasteful in the least.

I should have known...

Actually, It'd be fun to silence some WoW evangelist with an arrow to the head.

"PRAIISE JAYZU-*thwack*UURGHLL"
 
I would act in-character, and say"Jesus, who is he? A human?!! Humans are foolish pawns of the Alliance, For the Horde!!"
 
I can't decide if this website is solely for fun or if it's sneakily trying to make religion cool
 
This article may have been a joke. But that doesn't negate the fact that I have had people try and convert me on Wow and various other FPS, RTS, and Rpg games. Its scary how many evangelical people play games and attempt to convert gamers. They should know better.
