This would be almost funny, if someone in my family had not had a conversation with a person this weekend where they were basically told stuff like what that article says.
Being a Christian family ourselves, obviously it was pointed out that being so legalistic and narrow-minded is not truly being a better Christian, but once people like that have their mind (is it still possible to call it a mind when it's so narrow it almost disappears?) made up anyone who disagrees is obviously an agent of the Dark Lord. Oh wait, that's from Harry Potter which is full of satanistic messages too.
But you know, the Chronicles of Narnia and Lord of the Rings are OK. Yes, the characters use magic too, but it TOTALLY DIFFERENT. Sure, some of the good guy characters are wizards, but it's not the same thing! And they fight Orcs and Goblins, but it really is... different... entirely... *head explodes*
Obviously I don't have much sympathy for people like that. I have little patience for people who bash and bash others in an effort to appear more religious than those Eeeeevil sinnurrrrrs who use computers and technology.
I fully agree with setting reasonable limits for young children. I agree with seeking to balance physical activity and computer time. It will be over my cold dead body that a game like "Grand Theft Auto" finds its way into the hands of my kids. But yeah, they play WoW. And when they are old enough they may even read the full set of Harry Potter books we own. They sit on the bookshelf right between our set of C.S. Lewis books, and our bible study books. The horror. ;-)

As you should expect, this gaming threat is another creation inspired by the Godless wonders known as the Japanese and its purpose is sinister!
Shows how much they know.
Wouldn't the lore of this game be more Central European?
Since it's based on DnD, which is based on LotR, which is largely based on Norse mythology.

It's hardly 'Christians' that are the problem, Dobbel. I'd take umbrage of that if you really mean it.
You get uninformed, uncritical people everywhere. Unfortunately, religion is a readymade, packaged way of viewing the world. Many
moro
uninformed, uncritical people are drawn to that, and behave in an uninformed, uncritical way towards it. The result is rather unfortunate, as we can see.
I suggest you have a sense of humour about it. Nothing much else to be done. Education helps, but only in the long term.

Do people actually take this site seriously?
It's pure satire.
You wish.

Indeed. I would have thought Phelps and his Westboro baptists were being ironic too, if I hadn't actually seen news reports of them picketing funerals etc.
There's no underestimating the narrow-mindedness and stupidity of some people, unfortunately. :(
