Mission Bay Community Church in San Francisco is using a Jesus Mii to advertise its Easter celebrations.

The poster shows (http://www.missionbaycc.org/whatsnew) a Mii version of Jesus next to an Easter bunny and reads, "Come and follow Mii."

Mission Bay is not your typical Church, though; they also like to play music and offer coffees to encourage visitors.

This, Mission Bay claims (http://www.missionbaycc.org/worship), means it is "absent of negative 'churchiness'".

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

That's a problem with modern day Christianity. To much focus on other things.

"Come to our Church! We have culture references and coffee! Wanna watch a movie? Well, we just bought the Saw Trilogy and a Blu-Ray Player with the money we nestle out of all our attenders! More after the break...DO YOU NEED TO SUBMIT? CALL 1-800-PRA-YNOW AND RECEIVE A FREE SUBSCRIPTION CHRISTIAN DEATH METAL WEEKLY!"

Sorry about that, but you've got to admit that it's true. Im a Christian myself but these giant churches make Christianity sound like a business lol

Ah come on now no need to be cynical. If they did nothing they would be accused of being stuffy and old fashioned. They can't win either way!
