On: The great 1980s Dungeons and Dragons panic

For the amount of people that profess to Christianity, its amazing how many ignore the core tenets. I'm sure Bush was praising the Lord as he set the war machine in motion, or Bernanke saying a humble prayer as he pillaged the wealth of the middle class. Ah, the land of Christian principles. Thank God I'm not there.

Bernanke was raised Jewish, but he hasn't spoken publicly about his beliefs, so it's not clear what religion if any he follows.

Do you also feel the same way about Jews?

[mercurial → QuantumChaos]

History is replete with documentary evidence that whatever their creed (whether religious or political), men are more than willing to spill a lot of blood, as long as the blood belongs to the "wrong" group of the moment.

Well Bernanke certainly has political opinions, as do many other Americans, so I guess it is best to avoid these bloodthirsty monsters.

From the outside it looked like the churches that where aginst DnD where fringe protestant sects.

[jes5199 → walshemj]

Yes, that's true, but in some regions of the USA those fringe churches dominate the culture.
