Praise Pelor!!

I never realized how much that rhymed...

I thought it was Heaven that had a starway, and Hell had a Highway...

Just another reason why Jack Chick & associates should get outside their dumbdumb bubbles.

Thanks for the chuckle, Firebeetle. I thought we had gotten past this kind of close-minded and poorly thought out kind of stuff back in the 1980's. The fact that he quotes the killer locked in a cell as saying "D&D isn't just a board game..." tells me how little this dude knows about our harmless hobby. While he's at it, why not include the borderline crazies that killed because they landed on a friends property that had a bunch of hotels on it (Monopoly - EVIL!) or went on a killing spree after losing a game of Mario Brothers (Videogames - EVIL!).

It's always great when people condemn something about which they know absolutely nothing.

I got ostracized from church by people like this.

It gets better. Apparently this stairway has a fast lane.

"And rollin' their eyes 'cause I'm so White and Nerdy."

I guess y'all best not even talk to Me. Apparently, I, Torm, am really SA-TAN!

"I got skillz, I'm a champion at D&D."

I think we generally have. The book was in print by 1991 at the latest, and Jack Chick is very much a fringe operator who's noteworthy mainly for the noise and the absurdity he generates, not for any real impact or following.

It boggles my mind that people actually think this garbage and THEN actually write it in a book, rofl.

Not only that, but people will actually buy this crap, and take it to heart.
