Real Pastor In Virtual Reality Baptizes An Anime Girl 

This is the type of Christianity that everyone should think of when they think of Christianity. Not the gay hating kind, or the atheist hating kind. The kind that gives respect and kindness to everyone, that’s what Jesus wants in my mind.

@Kiki Melendez why is it play-pretend? Because a bunch of assholes throughout history have used religions of all places to justify their disgusting actions, that makes the good that comes out of them play-pretend? Religions are magnifying glasses that amplify the potential of people. And people choose how to use them and what to magnify.

Amen

Some christians are neutral or like gays. Like Jesus never said You must disrespect sinners. WE ALL HAVE SINNED. Only jesus can judge. So I treat atheists and gays with respect. I don't let religion get in the way of how I treat a person.

Juan Pablo Robayo This is how most of the real Christians actually are... it’s sad that a minority is taking away what Jesus said and preach a lot of things out of context; that’s why the society’s thoughts are disconnected and don’t really understand what this is all about. Even though a “VR church” is a “crazy idea”, this really represents how God’s church should be these days: “a church ISN’T a museum full of saint people, a church is a hospital for people that need help”. Jesus never closes the door for anyone, he’s always open to people that want to be His friend and follow Him.

Handsome Man-Child weird question ik. But no one never really explained what agnostic meant to me. So I’m lowkey confused

You're a rare kind of person. I agree with you. Even if you leave the whole God part out of it, there's a really good basis for how to live in christianity

A meme Yës Agnostic (Noun) a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God

Gabriel t h a n k y o u

@Handsome If you don't believe in the existence of god(s) and don't claim to KNOW it, you're with 99.8% of agnostic atheists. The word agnostic has NOTHING to do with religion, you can be agnostic to Alien UFOs. The gnostic atheists/theists are a bunch of silly persons claiming to be omniscient.

So my question with that, is that line of code now blessed? like if you copy that code is it like taking a glass from a pool of holy water but like infinite?

@@razagan1343 If you need it to, Razagan. It's not about any physical or electronic property of the blessing, more of a reminder of why we go about trying to help people and resisting the negative, in a society that is built on quite the opposite. Like reaching for a rune of power, or crossing yourself, it's to steel your resolve.

@@guypierson5754 That Is a really beautiful way of putting it, thank you

Yeah, it's just where people are looking into the bible and about jesus and god.

Some people are actually like that irl

It's an old idea that predates the separation of Christianity from Judaism. A lot of ancient cultures believed good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people (including physical conditions). Jesus speaks against this idea several times in the Bible, most notably by saying "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven." (The eye of the needle refers to a small opening in ancient city walls which was large enough for a camel, but not for a camel carrying a lot of baggage). Soloman also decries this mindset in the book of Ecclesiastes. It's a 4000-year-old (or more) superstition that isn't going away any time soon.

It's about using their faith to justify their hatred and bias'. Yes, it's stupid and horrible but sadly not every Christian is like this Pastor.

"If you suffer, it's from lack of faith" Explain again how Jesus suffered on the cross... ;)

Ethan L Wow I see... Thanks for informing us about the history behind it :) (Definitely not a justification though, if someone reading this happens to think it is)

I legit didn't know Drumsy was going to be in this xD

Try it!! Attending a sermon is really like going to group meditation if you find the right church!! Not trying to force anything but I wish you luck on whatever spiritual journey you decide to take

Nobody wants to hear if your an atheist simply avoid saying that before triggering someone

For me, my faith is my identity. Like, I identify through Christ. It's essentially what you sign up for. And, I've gotten lots of hate from lots of people about my faith, and it isn't easy, but there's a reason. I believe it's so God knows your faith, he knows it already, but heaven wouldn't feel so glorious if we all had the same faith in Him, and we didn't go through the pain we do.

@@TheseBygones Depends.

@@TheseBygones why would someone being an atheist trigger anyone?

Except for the cost. I have a chronic pain problem and would love to go to this but I can't afford a VR headset. Perhaps we could start a fund for seriously disabled or disadvantaged young people to experience this.(Not for me,I wouldn't be that self-serving. Besides I can still get about if I really want to go to a church.)

Can you imagine how this sounds to an Atheist that always thought of the christian idea, the teaching of jesus and the community of faith as a good concept. Not painting a good picture, not at all...

We had this one girl from UK joining one of our local tiny church in Hong Kong, she literally believe disease and sickness is some kind of punishment from god. We ask for quote, and what's her reasoning behind that, given that the wheelchaired guy didn't actually commit too much crime/sin in his life, and she keep spiting out venomous hatred. It still anger me in a way that it shouldn't, I am not a believer, kinda just in the church to get my grandma, good that the pastor intervened and stopped those crazy accusation. Last time I heard she went to other congregation, we also have those hardcore ''kill all gay and infidel'' kind of church in Hong Kong, rumor say they actually fund christian militias in middle east, pretty insane.

I think he really is inspiring to both athiests and theists to focus more on the spirit and loving each other rather than what symobolism should mean

One of the missions of a Pastor is to get people outside the faith, in 2019, he's doing it right, the way he speaks, the things he spends time in (videogames, VR), honestly I think he can get to more people this way (again, in 2019) that some old fashioned religious preaching on the streets

Honestly, Catholicism doesn't do anything for you

Misleading Christian school That's the problem

Dude same. I’ve gone to catholic school(s) for 11 years now, just finished my freshman year an hour ago lol... and tbh when i was younger i was super religious. I would go home telling my mom and i was so ecstatic about it. Idk what happened but at some point i just got tired of it and grew skeptical. I don’t necessarily think it’s the schools fault... they kind of just drill this information in your head for so long that it loses meaning for many people. I think the worst thing about catholic school are the people who act snobbish or rude because they’re religious. But, you’re going to find that anywhere. I personally have nothing against Catholic schools. They just don’t really teach about religion in an effective way,

Honestly, I’m going to have to disrespectfully disagree and say that atheists are more irritating in Catholic school. They (at least the ones here) are extremely stuck up and elitist about their beliefs, and think they’re smarter and better than everyone else, and more “enlightened”, when in reality they’re just switching faiths, there is no “scientific” theory on how we came to be that is 100% confirmed. They’re still putting faith into the fact that the “big bang”, for example, happened, but they can’t really prove it just like us Christians can’t give 100% scientific evidence that God exists. They also won’t shut up about how they’re atheist, they’re almost like vegans really. Idk man i do respect your beliefs but thats just my little tangent

Most schools teach you what they want to and the way they do that is very poorly executed. It doesn't make you want to go read the bible for yourself and to gind your own faith but to rely on their faith. Nobody is quite like the other person. We all beleive and have our own take on faith. Simply going to a church won't help expand faith but trying to find your own faith does. Just simply knowing theres a god and relying on others beleifs and faiths doesn't give you a one way ticket to heaven. You should expand your own faith rather thsn just blame the school that you don't know god. Some people have a more powerful message than others and some have a larger expansion of faith. Some people stand out more to you but god hasn't gone anywhere. Your faith might be weak but nothings stopping you from making it stronger. (Ik this had nothing to do with legit anything but I felt like this might help someone.)

Well baptism was more than a symbolic wetting your face... Originally you would have been kept down long enough for your brain to be deprived of oxygen, giving you a revelation, a near death experience. Without having that experience, it truly doesnt matter if its vr or real world.

A VR church full of anime girls, sanics, sans, Kermit the frog, and transformers. What a time to be alive.

Not only that, but it sounds like this fake church does an even better job at being a church than real churches. They're so humble. Church isn't just about religion, it's about helping people.. But these churches seem to do the opposite. VRchat doesn't

The concept of the church isn't even a physical place, so something as outlandish as a virtual reality church is just as valid if not more so than a "real" church.

From what I've learned going to my church is that there is no need for a physical building in order to be considered a "church". A church is THE PEOPLE, sort of like a community that are unified by Jesus and God. I still consider the VR Church a real one because of the people that are in this community

@@catpoke9557 the real religion is about helping the widow, the children and the less fortunate. Its cool that this type of church exists

There are a lot of people who go into VRChat because they are in pain. They don't feel loved in the real world and want to be someone else in another world. So going in there and treating them with love is a great deed, and reminding them that God loves them is even better.

@@dangercrue the biggest effing mood my guy. what i'd give for a world where we, as a species, stopped believing ourselves to be such know-it-all's about the universe as a whole (the ones who think they know the most, usually know the least).

@@hopesy12u4 there are different types of christianity, one may accept homosexuality and one may not, one may accept atheists and one may not. it all just depends on the church and the people consisting of it. stereotyping a religion saying that they all "protest against" certain beliefs, such as homosexuality or atheism or any other religion aside from their own isn't necessarily correct. individual people will believe what they want to believe in, just like how people will be who they want to be.

And if you could, please point out a part of the video that shows him being an inaccurate image of a pastor in a confident way. And how do you know God didn’t call him to it?

This is exactly how I feel, too!! As a Christian this was so refreshing and cool to watch. It’s amazing that this is a new opportunity for people to explore their faith; I never would’ve guessed this existed but it’s so awesome.

This was really nice to watch. I'm not religious and never will be but this VR Pastor absolutely gets what religion should be about. It's not about the power, or condemning people different than you but about helping one another and making real connections with other human beings. I've always found individual spirituality to be beautiful but am distrustful of religious organisations because there's just no telling if you'll have a genuine pastor with a community dedicated to helping others or if you'll get one of the corrupted elitist ones where they hate people for being different (Homophobic/Racism/Sexism etc.)

You don't usually hear about the good religious followers because there isn't anything news worthy to talk about. We hear about the negative religious followers because they've usually done something crazy. Im not religious and don't go to any church, but it is nice to see someone doing something wholesome no matter if it is a strange vr baptism.

@Sith'ari Azithoth That's true... I also feel like Christians get attacked a lot these days, and if you're a Christian and you don't agree with something the majority believes in they automatically assume the Christians are being hateful, when in reality they're just sharing a difference in opinion, which is something everyone used to be able to do a lot more without getting attacked for it. It's hard to voice opinions these days because everyone is so mean and crazy, especially online.

I agree us Christians need to be more accepting but thats not the case and i really wish it was

@Pineapple a Princess The world has changed so much that it’s not even religious people anymore, and it’s anybody in general. I’m a very accepting person, but everybody has booted up to a more aggressive, diplomatic and defensive system. In the LGBT community for example, you can’t pass by without seeing somebody getting attacked because they don’t support it or they’re heterosexual, but the only reason why they don’t support it is because they don’t have any association with the community - they’re a happy heterosexual and satisfied with their biological gender, and whoever else they know is the same, so they don’t feel a need to support it - but now people believe that if you don’t support the community, you’re a homophobe and discriminate against it. Me as a Christian got a lot of this during Pride Month, and I didn’t even try to get involved. I’m really wary of religious topics in a media, because there’s always a 95% chance that there’ll be that one person that goes “god doesn’t exist, you all are dillusional.” It’s like telling a 5 year old that Santa isn’t real. I genuinely respect everybody and their beliefs, opinions etc but it’s throwing me off a little bit when they start to attack others for their own beliefs.

Those things are important. They serve as the foundations of the Christian ethic, but Christianity is not reducible to just ethical rules. The heart of Christianity is the Gospel message.

You can believe in it or not, but that's what it is.

@@Rae-ck9hx no.

To be fair, reasonable athiests and christians are generally quite able to get along with each other. Mainly because when considering all the worldviews both parties are able to say that they could be wrong, and that they are taking a risk by following their beliefs. It just so happens that one calls it faith and the other doesn’t.

I think it helps when people can actually talk to each other. You see that it’s a real person instead of a name online. My best conversations about Jesus is with a beer or a cup of coffee. Chilling in a cool vr Japanese bathhouse would be another good one.

The lack of suicide bombing suggests that despite the bickering we do get along pretty well.

Peak In my experience, I’ve been Christian getting along with my atheist friends my whole life. This is how most of the real Christians actually are... it’s sad that a minority is taking away what Jesus said and preach a lot of things out of context; that’s why the society’s thoughts are disconnected and don’t really understand what this is all about. Even though a “VR church” is a “crazy idea”, this really represents how God’s church should be these days: “a church ISN’T a museum full of saint people, a church is a hospital for people that need help”. Jesus never closes the door for anyone, he’s always open to people that want to be His friend and follow Him.

Peak Most Christians are pretty chill and loving. Though we may have our differences on political and societal issues (that’s always been the case for Christians) most of us love and care for people and want them to be saved
