Jerry Moore, Christian game designer, is just hoping his latest project comes out before the ultimate deadline.

quote:
PORTLAND, OR--The end of days usually isn't a major concern at game development conferences. But for Jerry Moore, it is. Moore has been around the game industry almost since the beginning, and he's concerned that he won't get his latest creation out before the end.

Moore presented his ideas at the Fourth Annual Christian Game Developer's Conference, which took place this past weekend in Portland, Oregon. He's hoping to get some help finishing his game, so he can get it in gamers' hands before Judgment Day.

"The time is short. We don't know how long it's going to be until the Lord returns," Moore said. "If we wait three years to get this game out and the trumpet sounds, it's been a great adventure for me, but it hasn't brought anybody to Christ."
Is there any medium not fit for god's message, and if so where can I immerse myself in it?

Greg Schumsky, president of a company responsible for something called the "Bibleman" franchise, literally believes himself to be on a holy crusade.
quote:
Basically, I was sent here--kind of like the Blues Brothers, we're on a mission from God," Schumsky said.

Yet the article is not without unintended hilarity.
quote:
Like Moore, Jesse Rapczak also has his mind on the apocalypse, but for a different reason. He wants to create a game in the mold of the Battlefield series that pits Christians and Jews against the forces of the Antichrist.

"We're thinking of changing things because the Christians and the Jews are so underpowered," Rapczak said.

Jerry should kick back and relax. History is filled with doomsday and rupture prophets, none of them coming even close, and I rather doubt that the current crop of drooling Bedlam candidates will fare any better.

I do hope he'll not be too disappointed when his game beats the eternal deadline and is successful, but if he needs a little consolation, I, generous fellow that I am, will help him spend the revenues it generates.

Well, didn't Jesus say something to the effect that you must have the mind of a child to enter heaven (or some such thing)?

Wow they have a time machine! They can go back to 1999 and release the game before the Millinium 2nd coming/Apocolypse.

Or you could take up golf.

I wouldn't be so sure...

How about "hookers for Jesus"?
http://www.dci.dk/index.php?artikel=245

quote:
"To whom shall we go? - Thou alone hast the spirit of eternal life! - - -Listen! Hear ye the words I have given thy father David. - - - Help Maria to catch this fish. Give her, Lord, Thy web. In Jesus name! Make the lure so attractive he cannot resist it ! He's hypnotized! He's fascinated in that which he dreams of, the materialization of a dream of love, this spirit embodied in her flesh for which he hungers. - - Help her, 0 God, to catch men! - - Hook them through her flesh! Crucify her flesh, Lord, on the barb of Thy Spirit! - - They shall come, many great fishes, many great and strong and honorable and important fishes shall surround thee..." The drawing on the backside of the letter shows a woman catching a man and the text is: "Hooker for Jesus!"

And for those how get aroused by women making out with women:
quote:
The only forms of sex which God "prohibits or limits or frowns upon are fornications, adultery, incest and sodomy."

"Sodomy" is male homosexuality. Lesbianism, or homosexual activity between women, does not seem to be prohibited specifically in Gods word... Contrary to popular belief.



Edit:
Perhaps I should add that this sect has been under the investigation for child abuse (sexual and otherwise).

You forgot bestiality,
lev 18:23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.

No bull dykes rule?,
22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

Only lesbo reference according to SAB,
rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Well, the last verse there seems to leave a lot of room for interpretations.
