Message: <blockquote data-quote="Henry" data-source="post: 416409" data-attributes="member: 158">I learned long ago that the best way to refute an adversary - is to see what he has to say. Chick never learned that message; he spouts biblical passages that seem to back him up, he uses only the most choice out-of-context pieces of a D&D manual to back himself up, and restates the same case over again.Chick's essays are like a vaccination - it ain't pleasant, it can make you sick, but after having read it enough, you become inoculated to tripe, now knowing the worst of their arguments.I will say one thing, that holds true for anyone with religious faith - anything that becomes a stumbling-block to your faith, is not good for your spiritual well-being - whether it's RPG's, fast cars, your job, or strawberry jam on toast. If one finds their faith being put second to something else in their lives, it's best to re-evaluate one's priorities.However, it's not inherent in that thing - it's in how you use it, and how important that thing becomes to you compared to your faith. The old adage, "too much of any one thing is bad for you," has a lot of truth to it.</blockquote>
