Message: <blockquote data-quote="Humanophile" data-source="post: 417881" data-attributes="member: 1049">Maybe I was just lucky, but I never even heard of Jack T. Chick until someone sent me a link to Dark Dungeons as a joke.  So to me, he's a conviently funny old crackpot who gets more attention from hecklers than believers.  I do wish there were a JC/DD footnote on the FAQ, since the posts can get a little thick at times, but that's just because I personally find that the joke gets old quickly.On the other hand, I do wish someone with a cooler head than I could explain the following to Mr. Chick;<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Playing D&D is no more inherently evil for having supernatural powers than watching a Superman movie.  The players all know it's a work of fiction, and as such moral questions should be less along the lines of "God does not allow this in the real world, therefore it's sinful" and more along the lines of "If God allowed for (XYZ), would such actions please Him or displease Him".  Unless he argues that every work of fantasy is inherently sinful, I'd like to see him worm out of this.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Some gamers describe horribly blasphemous acts in their games, and some game manufacturers have put out highly blasphemous books.  True, but the same can be said of the comic book industry, and I don't see him calling comics the work of the devil.</li> </ol>(...I had more when I started, but they slipped my mind.  I'll edit them in if I remember.)</blockquote>
