Re: That is stupid

OK, first off: Ever read Farhenheit 451? Now that's wrong. But this is not exactly the same thing. This seems more like a symbolic statement that they want to get rid of the things that keep them from God (in fact, I think they say that). Furthermore, please recall that this was completely voluntary. They're not trying to make anyone else's choice for them, they're just letting people know what their own choice is. Y'all're coming down on them like they're taking other people's books and burning them. Okay, I'm about to go into a sermon, so I'll just leave it there for here.

Re D&D: I've never played the game, but I watched the cartoon, which isn't much different from any other fantasy cartoon. I think the problem people find with D&D is that it can lead to other, darker things like Wicca or whatever, I don't know; and also that people get so caught up in it that it's their life. (Waitaminute! Anyone else seeing a disturbing parallel?!?<img src=wink.gif ALT="

"> )

Truth will outlast both fact and fiction.</p>
