I see a theme "emerging" here


In keeping with my other links to subcultural skewering, I thought you might all enjoy this little parody product. Visit here to see the full page.

With Mega Church (the game) you can be the god of your own church to worship the other big guy the way you want!

Here's a few of the exciting features they listed:

  • Pastor a simulated church and create your own Christian empire
  • Hire and fire staff and deal with idiots, naive volunteers, and denominational egos
  • Attract fickle unchurched people with Bingo, revival meetings or fasting--it is all up to you!
  • Select a pre-loaded community
    • Xurban or suburban church plant (for those who want it easy)
    • Inner-city, multi-ethnic 80 year old church with 50 members and $1 million mortgage debt (for those who really want a challenge)
  • Choose a denomination (Lutheran, Catholic, Baptist, Pentecostal plus many more obscure factions and a brand new emergent plug-in)
  • Implement the latest ministry fad
  • Earn points with God by winning souls for Christ
  • With network play enabled, you can steal members from other churches and earn points just like you saved them yourself. The possibilities are endless! To grow your church, work on all the strategic variables,
  • Write a mission statement
  • Hire a professional worship musician
  • Book a rock band
  • Buy plasma television for your PowerPoint presentations
  • Prayer, study and preparation get thrown in there too--and the mysterious will of God!
Finally, the makers add.... Do it all without a degree, license or even the Bible! Just like Joel Osteen.

I thought you might like this one. Who needs to store scripture in your heart when you've got it digitally accessible?

Please pass the word about Marcel (from www.marcelsgeo.blogspot.com )as he's the only six-year-old who talks about Darwin's Nightmare at Stanford University.
