I once had the fortune to become acquainted with a man who was
the highest-ranking military chaplain the U.S. has ever had, Dr.
Scharlemann (a descendant of Charlemagne, on the German end of the
family). He was a very firm and dedicated Christian, and quite the
warrior type. He played D&D, participating annually in a group which
always finished off the school year with an all-out battle for
supremacy. He had a nasty habit of winning... maybe everyone was just
awed at his general's uniform with its medals, which he always wore for
the finale sessions.

It seems to me that by attributing your ability to understand the world
around you to revelations from goD (or is it gOd, I keep forgetting)
undercuts your own intellectual abilities (or maybe it doesn't, I don't
know you that well). And consider this: if you believe that God is
revealing this to you, you should write these items down. You are a
vessel of The lord, so your word is Gospel!
That's all I have to say about that.

Trojan horses? Ok, so by that you mean the NRA wants people to kill each other
with firearms in a holy crusade because they are for the ownership of firearms.
The only thing pop music does is entertain. The violence and problems in schools
is primarily the parents lack of fostering a healthy environment, as well as the
parents not taking responsibility for their own actions (as well as their child's).
Once you start making people responsible (ie - if your child damages property and
he/she can't make restitution for it, make the parents pay... ) you'll see some
major changes.
Music is just a scapegoat. The entertainment industry is a scapegoat, as well as
a way to attack Blacks, Jews, homosexuals and any other "minority" that so often
gets into such industries.

Yes, I see him too. He sits in my closet revealing himself to me. Sometimes he
lets himself hang out and flagellates in my direction.

ANYway... I was in the military, i am also a Wiccan, and i do Play
D&D.... as alot of my fellow military, and a few Wiccans do... I
dont know about some people.. but most that believe that D&D is satanic,
dont really know what D&D is. Therefore.... hmm.. what was my point...
getting senile in my old age.. or maybe my playing is degrading my
mental capacity.... *gryN*... actually it's helped me in my creative

"D&D" stands for "Dungeons & Dragons." It is a fantasy/role playing game,
often critized as being "Satanic" in makeup. Also often criticized as being
the "cause" behind teenage suicide. A popular game, especially amongst
teenage males. Actually, I sat in on a few "D&D" sessions while in
school...I'm still alive, I don't have any chickens sitting here waiting for
their throats to be cut, and I work at a police department [I don't eat

You cock sucking piece of shit. What the fuck did I do to you?
Point 1. This is the first time in about a month I've even fucked
with the newsgroups so I dobt I've been spamming.
Point 2. It's been about three months since I've been to
alt.christnet, alt.magick, or alt.satinism, or alt.pagan. I've never
been two alt.rock-n-roll.metal.death or rec.music.christian.
Point 3. I've only posted about five or six things and they all were
to on one or two groups.
So I don't think I've been doing any spamming lately.
Fuckface.

AD&D is a fantasy Role-Playing Game set in the medieval times.
The only people who would commit suicide after playing it are
sad bastards who were going to commit suicide anyway.
AD&D is wholly un-satanic, and not even slightly disturbing.
Roleplaying is like acting. So if D&D is Satanic, then so is
television.
PS ok, I know my nickname, Dispater, might make it appear satanic,
because I got it from D&D, but that is exactly like giving yourself
a nickname of a famous character out of a film.
Ok, AD&D has references to hell, Undead, etc. But take a look at
an everyday action movie, and you will see a lot of evil, death
destruction, etc.
No one accuses them of causing suicide!
If anyone has any counter-arguments, I'd love to hear it.

Only in certain gaming groups (usually sub-classed as 'the weird ones'

Would you then perhaps eat other cops?
Yes but only if their union allows it. Sometime overtime is involved.

The same with Medieval times. (which also had the crusades which so

Name some.
>Name some.
err, actually I was joking. I can't name any because I don't know any
because I don't know any such people.
I think you've just got your ears wound on too tight.
BTW, what silly tosser keeps on quoting eveybodies articles with a new
.sig attached to them asking for Free Drugs or something? If you know
who it is, tread on him/her from a great height.
Following groups removed from follow-ups:
alt.startrek.creative.erotica
alt.sex.fetish.startrek
alt.geek (at their request)

Absolutely nothing.
Dungeons & Dragons is just one of the many things blamed for teenage suicide. A long with Heavy Metal, D&D has suffered at the hands of uptight, over barring parents who need something to blame their sons or daughters rebelion on.

I heard that they have removed all references to demons from the
second edition AD&D to combat the frothing from the Religious Right,
but I don't know if that's true.
