Message: <blockquote data-quote="Achan hiArusa" data-source="post: 4444743" data-attributes="member: 2597">Those were the days.  My stepmother thought it was unnatural for kids to want to read instead of play.  I played and ran around like other kids, but I liked to read also.  But the more she pushed the less I played and the more I read.  And you would not believe how hard I had to fight to get into college (you should get a job).  Just to frame things.Now with D&D I had started playing before my Dad even met her.  I had copies of the books and she never even noticed.  At one point she even asked what the game was about and wanted to play.  Then she mentioned it to her mother and her mother freaked.  She made my stepmother watch all the evangelical crusades stuff she had recorded and then my stepmother became convinced it was evil and destroyed my stuff.  So I went to hiding it.It didn't end there, when I went to college I got involved with campus ministry and I was told point blank that if I still wanted to be part of it all and develop my walk with God that I had to burn all the stuff and this continued off and on for years.  It doesn't help that I am also a theistic evolutionist and refuse to read Dumbsky (oops...Demsky) and Behe.I also had a friend whose little brother had wanted to play D&D.  His parents didn't allow him because of it was evil (they were orthodox jews), but they allowed him to play Vampire the Masquerade.I do like how the Pulling's normal and adjusted son had threatened his sister so strongly that she was still crying about it.</blockquote>
