D&D General The Satanic Panic never really died?

[FrogReaver]

I think there's a bit of leeway here considering there was a biblical quote in the OP.

The Bible as such didn't exist until 325AD or so.

Some churches predating that have slightly different texts. Lost books of the Bible also exist.

Obviously there's a biblical influence on D&D.

How acceptable D&D is to people for whatever reason will vary.

Agreed = yet far to many posts here are simply disparaging religion. If that could have been avoided this was an otherwise interesting topic.

Nice conspiracy theory

It was from a fairly significant professor of archeology and he basically said that the problem of things being suppressed or atleast Asheerah being suppressed is no longer an issue but this is a change within our life time) it does not alter the impact that religious money had on archeology for generations. There was a Yhwh who was a Canaanite god a member of a Pantheon of gods their king. The Elohim was a plural word for a reason. And sure I am sure the priesthood of judea who do not even now let women be in positions of authority in their church did indeed declare Asheerah a false god.

For the last 3 pages you've done nothing but disparage religion. Please stop that.

Easy target and people only focus on the negatives.

This alphabet we're using. Probably due to a few monks in the post Roman world.

So many things suddenly declared heresy that had been accepted for hundreds of years.

History says religion has changed and evolved. This is not disparaging. Please stop disparaging truth.

More lies

There is no need to lie at all.

What you are quoting isn't history or truth - it's the world through @Garthanos perceptions - which are quite hostile toward religion.

He is doing no such thing. Stop trying to silence legitimate discussion about history.
