I did a speech about that. About how idiotic calling DnD satanic is.

wow, that article was 100% complete bullshit surprised obviously, this guy is one of those zealots who thinks everything that gives joy is evil or something like that. This is just a game, where one can use their imagination, how is that bad? yeah, people can get carried away, but the truth is, most people don't. How does pretending to be a warrior and rolling a few dice destroy your soul question like I said, bullshit.

I think that if you beleive that DnD is a game then there is nothing wrong at all, I myself am Christian. But on the other hand...remember when it first cam out some people began to take the game to seriously and painted their nails black and stuff like that, well I think that that isn't nessecary and totally anti-religous.

I order that man to get a real job, or a hobby, now!

D&D is not 'satanic' or any of that other crap that man is talking about. He's probably so into being christian, that he thinks that anything beyond what he can control, is evil, and demonic.

I would go further on to the topic, but there would be soo much swearing, it would be like Morse Code...

I have been a victim of christian ostraciszim, I have been called the Devil for my craft...Yet I stand strongly by that which I have dedicated myself to for almost 13 years now, so while they may have missed out on what I had to teach by not allowing me to defend my game. I still respect there beliefs (even if they are HORRIBLY wrong)

The guy who writes those comics would say that it is a vile mockery to combine something as holy as god and something as unholy as D&D together........but thats just me and I'm a jaded person.......

Some minds once they see something as "evil" refuse to see it as any other way...

I'm Protestant Christian, but I really don't care much for the bible. DnD is just a game, but your religion shouldn't dictate what games you play. I honestly think the person who said all that is a Catholic bible beater of the worst kind. That's almost Jack Thompson crazy, but not quite.

I've spoken with Mr.Thompson, he's fairly intellegent just quite insane and a bit into himself, the whole war against the game is pure lunacy.....
