D&D General The Satanic Panic never really died?

Nope not more just the same one about people freaking about a harmless game.

Well at least you acknowledge you are disparaging those people. That's a start I guess.

All you have is 21st century theories

Theories are the meat of science and once they reach the point of being a theory they change slower, but they can change and get better with evidence the evidence of huge numbers of variations in the religion prior to the Council is stacking up not going away.

If I had to pick a worst offender it would be associating prayer with magic - which is not a commonly discussed change of anything.

Not in your circles, maybe, but it's certainly come up in discussion here in Pagan-friendly Victoria: there's a whole lot of parallels between Christian prayer and Wiccan magic - probably more than either group would really want to admit.

And @gyor from post 204: I'm pretty sure the anti-witchcraft law in Canada was repealed some years back; though I've got it in the back of my mind that the fraud laws were also reworded to cover fraudulent psychics.

Not the scientific theory. The commonly used lawman meaning of the word. Wasn't that obvious?

And I was just pointing out a process similarity with D&D magic

Just for reference. For a point like this - this is the proper way for it to be said to not come across as mocking Christianity.

No. You made a caricature of Chritain prayer so you could shoehorn it into being similar to D&D magic which is disparaging.

Nope I am thoroughly parsing everything you say though the light of someone who doesn't like 21st century knowledge and prefers iron age stories.

So now you are going to disparage me?

 

[Garthanos]

or actualy what started as bronze age became iron age and has been adjusted quite a bit.
