[QUOTE="Steve Conan Trustrum, post: 160207, member: 1620"] True, I've run into Christian gamers but I've also had my grandmother, a woman who can only be described as one of those "let's have a bake sale to make money for the Church" type of old ladies have me sit down with her minister who then berated me for about 4 hours and told me how my soul was Satan's for the taking if I continued to game. Not all devotedly religious people, be they Christian or otherwise, are anti-gamer, but I'd say that the majority aren't exactly open-minded about it. This isn't meant to be an anti-religous comment, but, to be honest, the very nature of just about any religion isn't exactly about the open-minded acceptance of things that the religion doesn't agree with wholeheartedly or understand. Most religions take a "if it ain't in the book, it must be ag'in' the book" approach, and that's one of the reasons why you don't see all that many churches or temples with "Young DnD Gamers Night" postings on their bulletin boards.
