This is worse.

It's fake. Funny, but fake all the same.

This one might be fake, but I was just watching a news story about how "digital churches" are on the rise. In this day and age when people no longer have the time to attend church regularly, they can go online whenever they want to and participate virtually in masses and other religious ceremonies. It really wouldn't surprise me to see something like this eventually show up on the Wii or other consoles... though probably without the cross controller.

God: The MMO? Yeah, probably. It's as if people accept that Christianity is obsolete, but a part of them is clinging on in the most superficial manner possible. A sense of tradition, perhaps?

Speaking as a (very) lapsed Catholic, I can say that most Christians I know personally who still go to church are only doing it out of habit. They might still actually believe, but the act of participating in the ceremony of it is just something they do because that is what tradition tells them to do.

That's exactly why the Church surrounds itself in tradition and ceremony. Especially Catholicism. If the threat of damnation doesn't scare them into conformity the sense of tradition will keep the Church as a vital part of the community.

Thank goodness. It would have blown my mind apart if this was real. Still, rather convincing though.

It isn't even worth commenting... no, wait, oh shit :-D
My sanctimonious mother would like this, anyway....

There are fundies out there who would go for something like this. But given the development costs the market is far too small to justify it.

That's definitely been my experience.

You're thinking is all askew there, we should be embracing the move to a computer based method of salvation delivery. This provides an important gateway to the hearts and minds of the masses living in sin without the lord. More importantly it gives us the opportunity to milk these gullible idiots for every cent they have!
I suggest the development of a generic religion-centric social networking service, "Deliverance over Routed Internetworking Protocol" or DRIP for short.
DRIP will feature multi-faith support where the user (also known as a Drip) specifies their denomination (catholic, christian, jewish, pastafarian etc) which will determine which site plugins are compulsory, which are recommended and which are forbidden under pain of eternal torture in hell. They can then subscribe to various "news" feeds featuring uplifiting tales (for a modest fee), example of the code follows (Its in vbscript but should be easy enough to port to ASP)
Call GODSELECT
Document.Selection.Typetext "James was once a violent and murderous drug addict, lead there by the evil of video games until one day he tried to rob a kindly old man who explained to James just how lost he was. A few months later and with a lot of support from his fellow " & DENOMINATION & " souls, James has become a happy and productive member of society, all thanks to the miracle of " & USERGOD & "."
Fuction GODSELECT
If DENOMINATION = Christian Then USERGOD = Jesus
If DENOMINATION = Catholic Then USERGOD = Jesus
If DENOMINATION = Jewish Then USERGOD = Abraham
If DENOMINATION = Pastafarian Then USERGOD = The Flying Spaghetti Monster
Else USERGOD = God
End function
In addition to the "News" feeds, there will be segregated free forums for discussion between the like minded faithful about how right they are and a premium forum where, for a modest fee, the faithful can interact with the heathens who have selected the wrong god from the dropdown box and attempt to convert them to the correct way of thinking. A monthly prize of a gold plated holy symbol (customised to the Drip's selected denomination) will be offered to the Drip who can convert the most heathens and get them to change the denomination in their user control panel.
Is is only me that's starting to REALLY think about doing this? I could be an IPvangelist! I wouldn't even have to keep a straight face...

So fake. I bet second life has LOADS of churches. And I laughed.
AKA, fear and esotericism.

Users called drips! Fucking hilarious! IPvangelist! *slaps knee*

Will it include games with multiprayer mode too?
