[QUOTE="Darraketh, post: 299271, member: 847"] True but some started with I'm a <blank> as did I. Perhaps I should have left it at that and went on to say that I was raised as a Christian and D&D was another sin and there was no other way to look at it. Having left the fold, the christian view point is of no real consequence to me anymore. Now what is crazy is that my mother gave me D&D for christmas in the late '70s. It was only after the game began getting popular that they wanted me to burn it. We were sitting in church and the pastor was delivering a sermon on secret sins or those littles things you do that you think are unimportant. Things that allow the devil to get inside you. Like listening to rock & roll, reading those sinful books and magazines and (the sin of the day) playing that game D&D. As for being persecuted, I confess I hid my lack of faith for that very fear. IMO It's impossible to tell someone that you do not share the same religious beliefs with them and not appear insulting. How can you both be right? It's just something, which I forgot, you don't discuss in polite company. [/QUOTE]
