So…Grand Theft Auto 4, it’s tipped to break gaming sales records, it’s had record breaking reviews from those who’ve given it a test drive, the graphics are apparently unimaginably good, it’s more violent and depraved than ever before. Is anyone else guiltily intrigued (and I’m not even interested in computer games as a rule)?

samson was an early version of GTA really:
give your wife to your friend
fly into muderous rage
steal peoples clothes
set animals on fire
vandalise property
slaughter people “hip and thigh”
batter 1000 people to death with a blunt instrument
see a whore
fall in love
get betrayed
get tortured
bring a building crashing down
die in the rubble

if you pray in GTA 4 do you get power-ups like samson did??

How would praying in GTA4 look. It’d probably involve shouting, driving with your eyes closed and big tatoos of Moses etc. Perhaps we should design a Headspace computer game, so much potential.

What else could score you points? Do you score more if you sit in the pews or at the tables? What do you get for helping clear up at the end and do you get bonus points for time spent in the Pineapple? Your score should be docked for the following:
- number of toilet trips during the service
- praying with your eyes open
- Leaving your dirty mug on the pew shelf
- putting on inappropriate music at the end of the service (e.g. The Beegees or The Cheeky Girls)
- singing, farting, laughing or making lewd jestures during contemplative moments (actually lets put this one on the bonus point list).
