I guess when you look at it... eSports is my religion. I was raised Lutheran and do have a ton of respect towards religious institutions and why we need them... but I'm not of any particular faith.
All I know is that I believe and have faith in Pro-Gaming and I'll continue to give my time and energy into seeing Pro-Gaming reach the highest level it can. Closest thing to religion in my life.
Anyway... Thanks Brother Mack!
Amen brethren! And see you this Sunday for the next sermon!

Awesome plug though!
I wonder if the percentage of religious people on Team Liquid is larger or smaller than average.
I'm going to go with smaller... like much much much smaller.
Definitely smaller than average in the United States but you guys are way, way above average for the developed world. I imagine it's around where it should be overall. The Scandinavians will find tl fairly religious while the Americans will find the opposite, both will be right.
I like religious people who have positive attitudes when seeing others do something they may not understand. I was expecting some long rant about the evil of video games but was pleasantly surprised at the guy's friendly endorsement.
Edit: OMG I just watched more of his videos and this guy is hilarious!
EDIT: It just occurred to me that when these guys aren't getting trolled with fake emails about how people can't access the force, or never want to give you up, they now troll themselves. Someones gotta do it.

and.. that chest hair...
I remember there was a discussion about body hair on TL and for some weird reason australians specifically were the ones advocating shaving chests and legs... I can see how this is a pattern but I can't understand why, must be some inside feature or an australian twist on metrosexual culture.
I think this guy is clowning, no way in hell he is being serious (check out some other vids).
Jibba and I have been studying him thoroughly for about an hour now and the consensus is that he has to be a figment of our imaginations. I am going to go to sleep and when I wake up this thread won't be here.
Btw check out what this guy has in the background, Zaxxon, which was a Sega game. An old one that is. He is trolling, what was that bs about only playing D&D?!?

Yeah, on looking at his other videos I've.. um, actually I still don't know what to think. He's semi believable!
Hahaha actually I think chest hair is fine, it's just when it's sported on a man such as him... and flaunted! He's showing it off... O_O and I'm not down with that.
So I poked around and of course he's joking. But he seems like a genuinely cool/weird dude.
@brothermack.com..... actually BroMack is an asshole (but I sooo love being him) and I don´t much care for him or his beliefs. I personally believe that we have only one shot at life, then we die, and all that we have lived and loved and done and laughed at and regretted having done is erased much like a crashed computer. Aint no heaven, aint no burnin´hell. Just life.
Here's his band, they have a few indie LPs out. The song on there is totally fucked up and awesome. We should support him. :D

Im stunned. Fucking stunned.
Sorry for a simple requote but .. wow .. yeah that hits it.
I don't really know how his thought process behind that was ( and i sure would like to know how he came to that conclusion! ), but "I played a bit of DnD .. was a good place to find girls .. nerd girls at least who never saw daytime .. anyways" and his very charismatic person made this a pure win.
And i don't believe in a god of any kind. But he sure rocks and thanks DJW for that cool response to that. Lets see when he finds out that Anonymous hit that video like 10 billion times with his other preaches only reaching 10k's

Yeah, clearly this guy has never played a video game.

I grew up in southern Kentucky and my parents are hardcore methodist/baptists/whatever-the-fuck and this guy is SOOOOOO convincing. He has the accent, the mannerisms, the look, basically EVERYTHING dead on.

he played d&d as a kid. although no legit d&d character would have been that high a level when this guy was a kid
Since many are asking... this weekend on LO3 I plan to give the whole story on where this came from and the emails I received from Brother Mack. I think you'll enjoy them :D

I think the funniest thing (unless he had knowledge of this before hand) is how SirScoots was talking about how you name the Sunday program "the Church of Esports". Oh the irony lol

OI, don't go chirping Christians because of one guy. That's like when Muslims get upset when people call them terrorists. Why don't you compare me to the guy who wanted to burn the Qur'an too? If you're gonna say something, make it specific to the individual.
Don't know if anyone else checked some of the other vids this guy has up, but in one of them he says that Jesus wrote the bible, so I don't know how serious you can take him, but I guess that any retard can become a preacher in the US.
