Quote# 19379

I was heavily involved in D&D for about 2 years. I witnessed people turning away from God and turning to a total life of fantasy. I saw grown men sit in a corner and cry because their character died after they pleaded to their "god" to "save" them. I was trying to be a "good" Christian and played this game like it was going out of style. I quit after I saw that I only got excited about this stupid game and not the things of God. I was offered some serious $$ for my characters, but said no. D&D involves witchcraft, sorcery, demons, and so much more. I've been around folks that were into Witchcraft, had "friends" visit them and other things as well. Thankfully, they were saved from hell by a Loving God. To say this puke means nothing, or have no influence on you is the same as listening to Marilyn Manson or watching pornography and saying they have no influence on you either. This is not reaching for straws or comparing different things. They all come from the same pit of hell. Does it matter who wrote something if it promotes something that is not Godly? Only if you think His standards change. I understand that this part of the forum has folks with different standards, so some of you won't agree with me, but I can live with that too.

P.S. For those that think the Bible has "fiction" in it....what part(s)?

What the fuck. I admit to not knowing much about D&D but this really doesn't sound like it.

Wait did you steal this from a chick tract! I bet he did, i saw one like this the other day.

Genesis to Revelation and any Apocrypha.

Do you think the bible has facts? Which parts?

I wish I could have such an interesting life. Real demons would make even D&D exciting.

Who would buy characters? It's not like an MMORPG where everything shares one big game.

Ha, what a fucking LOAD!

I've known people who have played Dungeons and dragons for more than 20 years and - SURPRISE - they're more rounded individuals than and fundies I know! None of them are devil worshippers and NONE have cried over losing characters.

How do you buy a character? They're written down on pieces of paper, you dipshit!

PS: All of it!

Wait, what's wrong with Marilyn Manson and pornography?

P.S. For those that think the Bible has \"fiction\" in it....what part(s)?


I'll show you. It's all of the stuff between, \"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth\" and \"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.\"

Oh, and the cover too. It should just say, \"Bible.\"

As opposed to turning to the bible god and embracing a total life of fantasy?

Lying for Jesus award. And just for the record, how many speaking snakes have you seen?, maybe in D&D?

Dan, you are a liar. There is no way that you were involved with D&D at all, because none of what you say has any relationship to reality. You are a filthy liar and you are going to hell.

Dude-

I've been doing RPGs for over 10 years now.

I can tell you from experience that if the people in your group appear to be messed up, then they were most likely messed up long before they got to the table.

Your average gamer is a mentally healthy individual who simply enjoys going off into fantasy for a few hours. If anything, a good gaming group should foster positive skills and attributes such as teamwork, creative thinking, and strategy.

I call BS. This reads like the Chick Tract, but without the ugly artwork. Having been involved in DnD and other roleplaying for the past 25 years (dang, I'm old), I can tell you no one 'buys' a character from another player; and while I have seen people get emotional over a character death, never has anyone cried.
DnD involves pretend witchcraft, pretend sorcery, pretend demons, and pretend lots of stuff... much like The Bible. The difference is if you play DnD, when you pay money for things you get books with pictures in them instead of being told you're \"saved\".

I've been playing D&D since the '70s. I teach in a religious school. I even teach religion in a religious school. This person has never played D&D. I'm not sure why anyone would ever give someone else money for a D&D character. If I want your character, I will simply make one exactly like him. Take me 10 minutes, tops, and if you complain too much I will just give him a different name. This guy seems to think that D&D characters have some kind of physical reality or perhaps are on a national registry or something.

You fail at lying about D&D. I've been playing for 5 years, which, while not so long as some of the people here, is enough to tell me that you have no idea what the feck you're talking about.

Last I checked, so does Catholicism.

Agreed.

I can see people buying miniatures off of each other, especially if they're painted, but not characters.

Also, one of the subjects I'm the tutor for is theology; I'm the only theology tutor on the entire campus.

Yes... the \"buying his character\" part is the dead giveaway on his lies.

For those who don't game: Unlike in online games, in tabletop games, if you want a high-level character without working for it... you take out a piece of paper and write down that you have a high-level character. Then you need to find someone to let you play it; same problem as if you got the character off someone else.

I've played RPGs for years... with some fairly emotionally unstable people, when you get down to it... and I've never seen the kind of reactions he described.

The other totally disingenuous part is the one where he refers to grown men crying (definitely out of a chick tract... though in the tract they were teenage girls). I've seen grown men threaten to PUNCH other grown men when their character dies... that's the other thing about paper RPGs, you see. When your character dies, it's not by the act of some abstract god, it's by the act of that guy sitting across the table from you. Whom you can punch.

Oh, and where did this part come in: \"I've been around folks that were into Witchcraft, had \"friends\" visit them and other things as well.\" Is he referring to the RPG \"Witchcraft\"? No, wait... he just doesn't have the capacity to link groups of related sentences together, while separating unrelated ideas. A so-called \"paragraph break\" before this sentence might have been helpful. He knows how to do it, can find the GREAT BIG KEY on his keyboard designed to make them, he showed us that in his post-script. Intriguing.

\"P.S. For those that think the Bible has \"fiction\" in it....what part(s)?\"

Well, my favorite is the story of the tower of babel. God knocked it down because he was afraid that they would make it up to heaven. What a suprise it must have been for the fundies when we sent a rocket into space and didn't hit heaven, thus proving that story to be bullshit.

Please, it's not Reverend Manson's fault that I gave up Christianity. And the bible is a load. Honestly.
