Overwatch player and tech reporter creates (legal) Hanzo church in Brazil

(my first post, so forgive me if I forget anything relevant)

 

A tech news reporter and overwatch fan, writer for Adrenaline.com.br, Brazilian tech news website, decided to investigate how easy it is to create a religion/church in Brazil, where the law guarantees tax exemption for religious temples and the like.

 

He goes on to show what to do to get it done, and it's as easy as having 5 people and a lawyer, plus a few bucks for some documentation. 

 

Just for the lolz, apparently, he decided to make it a Hanzo church to show just how silly it can get, and how simple it is to use this to launder money while poking fun at the system. 

 

All hail Hanzo, I guess.

There will be paintings of angles (not angels) on walls of the church.

 

The believers don't need to bow before Hanzo. Instead, they are required to own a bow.

 

The church needs to be built right next to a hospital.

Cool. So we can finally shove all the Hanzo mains into that church.

 

Is there anything done for the Mei mains, though? She is the actual devil of the game.

I may already have. I have dealt with too many enemy Mei's in quick-play, competitive, and arcade.

I am not a normal Mei. I can hunt Genji's and Widows on high ground. Nobody can escape my Meiham.

Luckily for me, I am trying to master a few characters that should be hard counters to Mei.

 

Also, you are on!

Hey, I am down to 1v1 any time. I can also show you some of my greatest Mei tricks, so that you can embrace the hate you get from playing as her.

Let me know when you are wanting to do it. I have so many tricks for Mei, that there is seriously nowhere Widow can go on any map, that I can't get to. Even on the arch in Anubis, I can reach her as Mei, lol. Nothing scarier than a Mei climbing 30 feet into the air just to left click you to death while saying "you have to let it go".

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

 

Pyo.

Why would I put my puns inside of your overwatch skill level? 

 

Get it? It's like saying you are trash at overwatch. Man, I am funny.
