Subject: Christians and Cthulhu... Oh, dear Lord.

This excerpt is from an article off of Chick Publications and is titled, "Should a Christian Play Dungeons and Dragons?"

...would give me the time and funds to thoroughly research the contemporary FRPG scene, which if anything appears to be more appalling than it was 20 years ago. A walk through any gaming store can prove that. For example, there is now a whole line of materials based on the hellish H.P. Lovecraft Cthulhu mythos, a form of magic that we practiced in the darkest days of our satanic career - a system of magic prominently featured in THE SATANIC RITUALS by Anton LaVey! Contrary to the ramblings of D&D defenders like Michael Stackpole, the Necronomicon and the Cthulhu mythos are quite real.

He is also pretty ignorant about hard-core occultism, as mentioned earlier, when he mocks the Necronomicon and claims it is entirely fictional. It is not, and its use (even in part) has led to the destruction of many young minds and souls. I have personally watched it happen.

I think that if ignorance is bliss then Mr. Chick is the most blissful person in Christendom. It kills me that he is claiming to have personally witnessed the effects of a fictional, non-existant tome. Anyway, the entire article can be found Here. There are other things on the site that are hilarious.
