Church advertising with Jesus Mii

chautemoc | March 20, 2008 | News | Wii Misc 
Yes, that's right folks, the holy son himself is proud to offer his services through the Nintendo Wii Mii creation system (apparently Jesus is down with video games, who knew?). The Mission Bay Community Church in San Francisco is using a "Jesus Mii" to promote its Easter celebrations this year. I don't know about you, but this church sounds flippin' awesome to me.
Mission Bay is not your typical Church, though; they also like to play music and offer coffees to encourage visitors.

This, Mission Bay claims, means it is "absent of negative 'churchiness'".

"We have all sorts of Mii designs on our Wii. One looks like a human Lassie."

    I am just glad they tried to be accurate and made him dark (for those reading this, it is not the same Mii as in the picture here).

      Caucasian Jesus ftl. He's Hebrew, for Heaven's sake. Wtf with the rabbit though?

      Perhaps this shows neutrality in subjects such as video games, or other day to day casual subjects. I'm glad.

    I would say Black Jesus FTW, but that would be ignorant on my part. I'm glad they stuck to actual Historical facts when it came to Jesus' Skin Color.

      Jesus was never a historical fact in the first place. So it shouldn't matter.

        Was just about to say the same thing.

        If I remember correctly a man named Jesus existed however whether anything else is true is a matter of faith etc, therefore it is a historical fact.

          Faith=historical fact? Never heard that one before...

          There are no historic documents of a man named Jesus Christ existing. There are about 3 people who mention the name "Christ" or "Christus" in their documents. However, it is only 1-2 sentences, and it is a title, not a name. It means the Anointed one.

          I never said faith was historical fact. Where the hell did you pull that out off?

          Jesus Christ was an adopted title however if you look up his actual name then such a man did exist.

          A title does not count as a name, there isn't even evidence that suggests in their writings they're referring to the biblical Jesus.

          I know university professors that specialize in world and ancient history, I'm quite big on the subject of history myself. As far as most historians are concerned, there is NO man named Jesus Christ on any historic documents. As far as the evidence points out, he is nothing more than a rip off of other pagan gods before him.

          The ONLY historian christians use to back themselves up with Jesus existing is Josephus. However, through thorough examination, Josephus's writings have been dismissed as a forgery.

          If you find any 100% valid historic documents of a man performing miracles, raising the dead, turning water into wine, being born of a virgin, crucified and rise from the dead three days later, be sure to let me know, you would be quite famous. There were MANY historians that lived during the time of Jesus's supposed life line. Not a single one recorded any of his events.

    As mentioned above, here's the actual Mii direct from the church's website. The clothing has been added on via photo editing software.

    Haha awesome. The catchphrase is a bit cheesy, but it's good that they're using the Mii all the same. =]

    Wow.
    I guess this annoys me because I'm not Christian but how desperate can a religion be if they're making video game characters!?

      Maybe they're just having fun with it? It's good to not be so serious about everything..

      I don't see how this is desperate.
