Baldur’s Gate and D & D Are Truly Evil

I want to defend Waverly here (not that he needs help). His point was that the Bible has often been misunderstood and misused. For example, there is nothing in the Bible that says that we should kill people who don't believe what we believe. Yet, that didn't stop a bunch of medieval Christians, led by humans hungering for power and influence, to launch the Crusades. If you read the Bible, as I've done a little, you can see that there are tons of quotes that can be easily used to mean whatever you want them to mean (especially out of context, which is the current problem with a lot of the right wing politics in the US).

As for the Middle East, well, the Jews and Arabs are doing a pretty good job of killing themselves. Anyone who seriously reads the Bible would never wish that on anyone.

@waverly:

Nope, foul, but I dedided to throw my hat in anyway. No one with a signature twisted from fragments of Conan's 'what is best in life' answer and Tolkeins epic can be all bad.

In reference to the initial post: Yeah, Yeah.. They came up with that same crap 20 years ago when D&D first came out. Apparently you aren't familiar with church history...closed-minded, right-thinking, God fearing individuals protesting the very same things you are were responsible for some of the most deplorable, violent, inhumane acts against humanity EVER. Thanks for your concern..

Now, if you don't mind, I need to summon a demon and check on my prostitutes..

Gruntboy; Ahhh, I see. Fiction drawn from verbal history and mythology. Still doesn't make it 'THE-WORD-OF-GOD' in my estimation.... Now the Kama Sutra on the other hand......

Foul this is not an attack on you or anyone else just my opinion. (Anti-flame Shield in place)

IMHO all religion is a means to control a group of people. Now I do believe with out it there would be total chaos.

'Quote >'interest is to get your money ' which is what churches want too.

I'm not saying not to believe in what every you want too. I'm saying don't force your belief on me or the next person.

Alright let the flames start.

@wease

A principle laid down long ago by God is: " For as he thinketh in his heart,
so is he" (Proverbs 23:7). "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of
it are the issues of life" (Proverbs 4:23). We ARE what we THINK. It is
ridiculous to believe that people, young or old, can absorb their minds with
violence, murder, human sacrifice, suicide, demonology, rape, desecration,
defecation, sadism, cannibalism, sex perversion, insanity, prostitution,
necromantics, Satan worship, witchcraft, and every other form of perverted
and violent conduct without being intensely - and perhaps permanently -
affected adversely. We ARE what we THINK!

Really, you are NOT religious, well It does not look that way.

I'm actually a priest, and am appaled by the black witchcraft I see discussed here, corrupting the minds of our children and dragging society down into the depths of depravety and mindless evil.

Anyone care to worship Cthulu the Almighty Squibb?

Shush, Ubik. We are not to speak of the Eldar gods.

FoulDwimmerlaik · Post by **FoulDwimmerlaik** » Fri Jan 12, 2001 2:42 pm

I can't join, because upon entering the priesthood, I had to make my vows, all the usual, the father, the son and Shub-Niggurath, Goat With One Thousand Young.

So, I'm taken.

U-huh!!! Lots of followers of the Elders here!!!!

Ok, ok, I will not speak a word further. I swear to Yog Sothoth and to the one without a name

I would tell you about my time @ the old school, but the horror of those days is indescribable, it would break your mind to try and fathom the unimaginable, unspeakable monstrosities that were visited upon us....

Being the Kwisatz Haderach makes it impossible for me to join any other religion. Although all of you are welcome to join my jihad against the evil imperial houses and slay a few Sardakar!
