  • Have you heard the good news about Jesus?

  • Yeah? Now, have you heard the bad news about Jesus?

  • NEWSWOMAN: This might actually be the Holy Grail

  • of new video games.

  • It's called I Am Jesus Christ,

  • and it lets gamers play Jesus--

  • to heal a blind man, make fish appear in a bucket,

  • and end a thunderstorm.

  • The New Testament-inspired game has not been released yet,

  • but it is expected to launch soon.

  • (groaning, jeering)

  • Okay, this...

  • this is extremely offensive.

  • Especially for me-- someone who has already accepted

  • Super Mario as my video game savior. I mean...

  • And I say unto you, it's-a me!

  • -(laughter) -Look, I'll-I'll be honest,

  • I don't want to play a video game about Jesus.

  • However, I do want to play as Jesus in other video games.

  • Think about it. Yeah.

  • When Jesus was alive, he rolled with sinners and prostitutes,

  • so he'd kick ass in Grand Theft Auto.

  • He'd be amazing. Or even better,

  • I'd want Jesus to be in Madden as a quarterback.

  • Be like, "What's the play, Jesus?"

  • "Hail Mary, same as every play."

  • (laughter)

  • -(applause) -Or...

  • -(whooping, cheering) -or...

  • I'd want to play Jesus in Mortal Kombat.

  • Yeah, just ripping out dudes' spines,

  • then immediately healing them.

  • (deep voice): Ressurrect him!

  • So look, I don't know about this video game,

  • but if you are gonna play it and you do get stuck,

  • at least we all know the cheat code--

  • it's gonna be up-down-up-down- left-right-A-B-stop.

Have you heard the good news about Jesus?
