Ran into this one by mistake. Good way to teach Christian values I guess.
Yes they are serious...

"I am sure the Lord will continue to bless your business based on the fun, and great -blessings, that my sons and I experienced today. Your brother in the Lord." - E. V. - Pleasant Prairie, WI

"God has his hand on paintball for sure!! I read an article about your field on wisconsinchristiannews.com and was very impressed. God is really working through you and your field. I believe that He is working through the entire Paintball industry. I really like your idea of letting Pastors and their wives play FREE! I'm amazed how precisely and swiftly The Good Lord works!! Keep up the good work! May God richly bless you and your family!" - Sam B. - Oregon"

Are you gonna start a thread for EVERY Christian thing you find on the net ?
I thought you were better than that...

You mean, like the sense of fair play needed to prevent you from wiping off the paint and carrying on shooting people after you're "dead"?

Clue: Christians like to have fun too. Paintball is fun.

This is still my fav line "God is really working through you and your field. I believe that He is working through the entire Paintball industry"

Gotta have your priorities I guess

Ever take a look at tournament paintball? There is nothing christian about it.

wallinbl · Oct 28, 2005, 12:52 PM

Wow. Christians play paintball. This is an amazing revelation. I almost fell out of my chair. Whew.

How so?

turtle777 · Oct 28, 2005, 12:58 PM

Ok, so now that we know that Christians play paintball, and gays play other ball games, can we get back to the normality of life ?

You may return to your "Normal" life at any time. The thing is you keep coming back here and trying to get us to come with you

Tournament paintball is filled with a bunch of hot heads with chips on their shoulders. They enjoy bringing pain to others by "bonus balling". Trash talking is worse than any other 'sport' I've seen. There is a lot of other stuff. I used to be into it, but then I realized that it changes you into an angry person.

I think it looks fun. I like their holidy roundup:

"'Liberate' people from the Holy Land."
"Pagan punchout."
"Better dead than Gay."

Woah. It's in WI. I should go and take pictures.... but dress up as satan before I go. That'd be kinda fun.

You should see a casual game of church league softball.

I assure you, there is nothing Christian about it.

Do they argue with the umpire by saying that Jesus said they were safe? Or, do they just hurl the softball as hard as they can at the batter and say "hit this you stupid bitch!"? I think one of these is right, call my hunch a message from God if it pleases you.

P.S. Does it please you?

They don't follow me around stalking me, that is for sure. SEEK THERAPY!!!

There's Christian Cafes, there's Christian nights at rinks, there's all sorts of Christian things. Never heard of a Christian run paint ball field but whatever. Our YG goes paint balling yearly, all the kids attack me.
Often Christian business people chose to run their shops with a Christian atmosphere, I knew a guy once who basically ran a Christian garage. Anyone could get their car fixed, but they'd hand out info about God and stuff too anyone interested. My family's dentist will actually pray over patients.

The local porn shop is a Christian shop. They will offer you info about God while they hand out vibrating dildos.

I wouldn't know about my local one - I've never seemed to have a use for a dildo, so consequently never needed to buy one.

They are good for issuing back rubs, and for planting places. One time, I put a green one within the cucumbers in the produce section of the grocery store.

Dave Navarro used to use one to make noises using his guitar.

(Holding it over pickups)

Had one velcrod to his amp.
