Well, back in the 80s, there were a few people who really did not like Dungeons and Dragons. (Note that I've changed the name of this forum (Dungeons & Dragons became Gaming, in order to reach out to a wider audience).
Since this topic got repeated locks on Facebook, I feel like I have a duty to try to continue it here.
First thing: find Michael Stackpole's excellent essay on this topic.
Next, well... I am not the greatest poster boy for this topic. Sure, I have Satan's cross on the inside of my front door (something that Jeff Hanneman would not be too cool with), right under my Psalm 69 CD cpver. Above Satan's Cross is the Christian Cross, yep. Matter of fact, there is the Christian Cross over every door of my home. Sigh.. probably too much Black Sabbath, when I was younger.
Now, there was a Christian guy in the forum who asked me to tone down the Satanic Slayer stuff, via PM. I agreed to this, and... within a few hours, I was blasting SLAYER links in the General Board, again. Hmm, also, sort of like Wintermute, by Black Pyramid.
So here is the big question: is D&D Satanic? No, of course it isn't, despite a few Satanic bits, via 1st Edition articles in Dragon magazine.
The game, as a whole is just as Satanic as the fantasy section in your local book store.
The game, as a whole is just as Satanic as learning World Mythology, in school.
That said, that simple.
Anyway, here is Cult, by SLAYER. Can anyone out there 'translate' this one into Arabic?
