[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 160033, member: 2067"] Hoo boy. I see this thread gettin' closed fast. ^_^ While I can still post, allow me to say that I picked up D&D *in* a catholic school. My parents, devout catholics to the last breath, are perfectly okay with this. Most of my close friends are christians. None of them have a problem with D&D. The worst I've gotten was a bud of mine who's the child of a revrend asking "Isn't that considered Satanic?" and I was happy to reply, "Not by most people. It isn't, but some people think it is, and some people get *way* to into the game and are already unbalanced as it is, and that's why a few people think it is." I think that's the only defence we need: "Some weirdoes *do* play D&D." Just like "Some psychos *do* buy guns," and "Some sociopaths *do* watch Family Matters," and "Some twits *do* watch Jackass (the MTV show)." I think D&D being evil was more an outgrowth of the whole "Abandon Ship Mentality." Something bad happens, and people look for a cause. And whenever people look for a cause, they never look internally. Why did the ship sink? Because the captain's an idiot and hit the iceberg. Certainly *not* because my child gummed up the controls with his candy-hands. Argh! I'm falling off a cliff! How could this happen! Oh! I know! A shoddy rope! Certainly not my fault for using a rope I knew was frayed! If I live, I'm gonna sue something! It's a plaguing problem. We just need to find out how to solve it. We can't look for sacrifical lambs or scapegoats anymore. We can't blame Doom for kids going psycho. Kids were going psycho long before Pong, yo. Anybody else want to vote for me being president? :) [/QUOTE]
