Satanism. The teachers were up in arms over D&D and other Satanic influences. Some of the teachers got up in front of the entire school body, which numbered about 400 students (I lived in a small town of a thousand people), about how Satanism turns people into horrible horrible monsters because they don't believe in God. They told sordid stories of how they found some places where Satanists gathered and sacrificed cats and other animals and even human sacrifice.But the biggest story I remember is the teacher getting up and telling the story of his experience with Satan. It seemed he got concerned over a record he was listening to, so he decided to burn it. He set it afire and the fire went out just as it reached the center of the record. And yes, I am talking vinyl records here for this was a time before there was CDs and Commodore 64s were the best home computers money could by.He got really scared and said the center of the record wouldn't burn because demons inhabited. it. He went so far as to fill a small bucket up with a gallon of gasoline, put the center of the record in it. He made a long fuse so he wouldn't get caught by the huge fireball, and lit the fuse and let her rip. I could imagine the huge column of fire that would erupt from a full bucket of gasoline. He was actually trembling while recounting his story.Well, he said that after the fire finally burned out and the bucket was almost melted to nothing, he saw the center of the record. It had been untouched. He got really frightened and the only thing he could think of was to bury it somewhere. And he vowed unto God that he would never reveal the location of where he buried this piece of the record.Now here's the kicker. The record was by KISS. Which, according to the teachers meant "Kids In Service To Satan", and of course other rock and roll bands worshiped Satan as well and even said so in their lyrics and the band names. Another such band was AC DC, which meant "Against Christ Destroy Christ".But at the time I was far more gullible than I was now, and I got scared of it. I ended up throwing away almost a hundred dollars worth of AD&D things. But I was also a kid of about fifteen or so when this happened.So, there's my story.</blockquote>
