I just read this story on New York Times.com from yesterday, and I'm floored. Follow THIS LINK and read about how Churches are attracting young people to their building, using Halo 3 as the bait.
Now, I'm not going to go into my own religious beliefs or anything here.... but can you can any more hypocritical than attracting people to a peaceful way of thinking by promising sniper shots and beat downs? Sure, Halo is popular, but so is porn. I don't see any churches having porn nights to put people in the seats... plus, I don't think I'd want to see the porn that churches pick out to watch, that's just a little too creepy.
Of course, I'd take all this criticism back if there was a priest in attendance for these Halo nights constantly trying to stop people from killing in the game, claiming the christian thing to do is to exist in the game without killing, to set a good example. Check, that, I wouldn't take back the criticism, I'd laugh. Hard.
