Sims for Sinners.

You've got to be kidding me, right?

news.bbc.co.uk...

"The preacher, congregation and prayers will be real enough. Only the building will be virtual - but this 3D church could be a taste of things to come.
This is the view inside what's believed to be the first virtual church, due to be launched next month as part of a scheme to reach people who would not normally step inside an actual church.
The rafters, pulpit, altar and pews look real enough, in a cartoon-ish way. But the preacher and members of the congregation will actually be real, connecting via the web to each other to take part in real services."


Is the Church really becoming so desperate that it has to resort to this sort of thing? I know that there are many ways that people use to worship their god, but online?
What guarantee have you got that the dude sitting next to you in the virtual church isn't flicking between browsers and looking at internet porn whilst you're singing "All Things Bright and Beautiful"?

I can just imagine such a site as a prime target for hackers too.

Looks like they've got the right name for it though - The Church of Fools.

Wow, what is this 3rd Dimensional Existance we call 'Reality' coming to?!

haha, how would they consecrate the ground I wonder?

"here, in this house of God, oh...wait..."

Thats just funny in ways I can't begin to explain. The internet is like the dark side of the world, its where everyones inner freak comes out, and now they want to stick church online. I can just see the geeks having a field day with this and making jokes galore.

For some humor check out the IRC prayer, geek humor at its best, or lowest depending on how you view it...

Time for my prayers:
Our Father, who 0wnz heaven, j00 r0ck!
May all 0ur base someday be belong to you!
May j00 0wn earth just like j00 0wn heaven.
Give us this day our warez, mp3z, and pr0n through a phat pipe.
And cut us some slack when we act like n00b lamerz, just as we teach n00bz when they act lame on us.
Please don't give us root access on some poor d00d'z box when we're too pissed off to think about what's right and wrong, and if you could keep the fbi off our backs, we'd appreciate it.
For j00 0wn r00t on all our b0x3s 4ever and ever, 4m3n.

i really dont see how this would really be affective, as im sure most ppl would go onto it as a joke or spam the chat bubbles.

LOL! thanks for the laugh. As for a virtual church...that'd be nice. Now I can stay in bed for church instead of going in a hot crowded building.

You know, being that they drew the damn thing, would it have killed them to make it look decent.

Checkerboard floors?

Now priests can have a sermon in one window and porn in the other. or maybe confessions and porn.
