[QUOTE="ConcreteBuddha, post: 121955, member: 3139"] SARCASM ALERT! DnD is bad for you! It makes you think! Ow! Head hurts! I need Chick to interpret reality for me... The Bible is the only reading material that matters in this world. I memorize it and spew it at will! Don't know what it means, but that doesn't matter, because good men like Chick help me. Besides, the Word of God is ALWAYS right! The Computer is your friend! Are you happy, citizen? UNSARCASM ALERT! When reading the "Should Christians play DnD?", I substituted "play Dnd" with "think." Then everything made a lot of sense. "Should Christians think?" Chick and his groupies would say, "No, Christians should not think, they should follow blindly. The word of God is always right. The Bible is always right. Everything that counters the Bible is wrong." Chick is from the plane of Mechanus. Ultimate Law. Primus. Thinking, science, logic, DnD: these are all about opening up to as many options as possible, then choosing which ones are Good. Thus is the Goodness in Chaos. An ordered faith (Lawful Feeler) is going to actively attack all things that are ultimately random or different (Chaotic Thinker). P.S. I'm not implying that Christians, in general, don't think, or that Christianity espouses anti-thinking. It doesn't do this any more than Scientists don't feel, or that Science espouses anti-feeling. Some of the "best" (IMHO) Christians I have ever known take what is Good from the Bible, while leaving what is Evil. I am instead implying that there is a certain segment of the population of the world that is perfectly happy not-thinking. (RPGers included. You know who you are!) Chick caters to them. My whole point is this: Chick doesn't want people to logically take his ideas seriously. He wants sheep to blindly follow. He wants to be the right hand man of God. Chick wants to be Jesus.
