Winning Heathen Souls in Azeroth

Great excerpt from the end of the article.

Landover Baptist Pastors originally expressed some concern over the game because it looked like it promoted occult activity. "I told Pastor Deacon Fred that every single time I find an item that looks like it has something to do with the occult, I hop on a griffin and head straight to Ironforge where I auction it off. Christian gamers shouldn't be carrying that stuff around. We don't enter places that serve alcohol in the game either. It is just not a good testimony. All the money I make from selling occult items to unsaved gamers, I auction off on E-bay for real cash, which I then put into the offering plate at our church on the last Sunday of each month."

And I thought the Duskwood was scary....

Landover Baptist is hilarious.

Is that for real?

If so....

It is absolutely as real as say, any article from The Onion

They aren''t real, though I thought the same thing when I first hit that site. They are after all the home of the WWJD Thong

There''s just something weird about people having a bible study in a place called booty bay....in a video game.

For a virtual world with few penalties for dying, like WoW, I think buddhism is better suited. ""Escape the eternal grind"".

Christianism is for the old Ultima Online and virtual worlds with rampant griefing and permadeath. ""Get free from this valley of tears"".

Heh Landover is awesome, I thought it was real too when I first discovered the site. I love this quote:

It is such a rush to kill other players who refuse to accept Jesus Christ as Lord,"" says one gamer. ""I feel like I can really practice my faith the way God intended it. It is like I''m fighting alongside Christians of old, instead of the pansies and sissies from my Sunday school class.""
