Jesuits say take word of God to Second Life [ Reuters ]
ROME (Reuters) - Catholic missionaries have always trekked to dangerous parts of the Earth to spread the word of God -- now they are being encouraged to go into the virtual realm of Second Life to save virtual souls.
In an article in Rome-based Jesuit journal La Civilta Cattolica, academic Antonio Spadaro urged fellow Catholics not to be scared of entering the virtual world which may be fertile ground for new converts wishing to better themselves.
... |
Emphasis added. Despite what the article says, it's real souls that they are after.
Can Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses be far behind?
Or Scientologists?

The lack of a rational explanation is not evidence for an irrational explanation. |

Excuse me.
Mr. Alhazred?
Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior? |

The Mormons are always way ahead of most in this type of thing, those folks are prepared.
I hear Lord Jesus is worth a ton of exp. |

Save SFN from what? From Abdul?

I will pray for you.

No no! Save our souls! You know, from the OP: "Catholic missionaries have always trekked to dangerous parts of the Earth to spread the word of God -- now they are being encouraged to go into the virtual realm of Second Life to save virtual souls." |

It's so nice to know that someone is sanctimoniously self-righteous enough to pray for us "sinners." I hope writing that made you feel nice and superior. But it just makes you look like an ass, from my viewpoint.

Vic is kidding around.

I had not thought Vic was kidding. Consider my sorry ass to be chilling. (Damned parodists!)

| Thats the problem with this type of parody, the real thing is just as goofy as any parody and therefor indistinguishable, usually. |
