The thing in my situation is that I knew my father was an ultra-conservative Christian, so when I started playing D&D, I actually brought the books to him and asked his approval. He said that it was cool. A few months later, I was woken up very early one Saturday morning because my father had arranged for the minister to come over and have words with me about D&D. As the ENWorld rules specifically restrict discussions about religion, I'll omit the specifics of that discussion. Suffice to say that I was expected to come before the church and publicly renounce D&D and thank the people that had been praying for my soul (that requested action never happened, by the way). To this day, my playing D&D has been this huge deal because my father still likes to pretend that my D&D hobby kept him from being elected to a deaconship within his church, so he still tells the story about his defiant Satanist son behind my back at family events and the like... Personally, I think it speaks volumes that the recent tragedy at Wizards of the Coast and Microsoft haven't been exploited by people like Patricia Pulling. They know that they just can't be taken seriously any more.</blockquote>
