OK everyone, this thread exists for just one thing: for a good laugh. And how is that? Everyone go visit
www.jyu.fi/~np/rpg/DnD/index.shtml
When you come back from there alive ( not likely), post comments here!

Okay, what I want to know, is how do people wind up on these sites? I mean, if I wandered in there by accident, I'd probably leave before I had time to c&p the URL.
I thought the role-playing is satan worship thing died 15 years ago. Who knew that there were still loons like that running around?

Great page!!! The joke was a bit too obvious, though, and he shouldn't have made that disclaimer page (which ends, cleverly, with fnord...)
DCA,
Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no substitute for a good blaster at your side.
DCA posted 12-15-98 06:15 AM ET
C'mon guys! Don't tell me you actually thought this stuff was serious!
Anyway: Jay, where did you get the link?

whoa, seeing http://godhatesfags.com/index.htm (one of the pages the finnish guy linked to) sort of makes me understand how you could think he was not joking (at least if you just skimmed through his rantings, ignoring details and the fact that he does actually list everything in the entire world as satanic)
DCA,

I just wandered to altavista, searched for "roleplaying games" and after a few dead links, I stumbled upon that page. Kinda got mad to mr. Paasivirta, but after careful study on the page, links etc. I finally understood the whole thing. And please remember to check the comments the guy has received...
Many people took it seriously!
But others... aw, here's an exsample:
"Hey man this must be the best site on the net! I hadn't laughed like that since a jumbojet exploded and everyone inside died..."
Zan Thrax posted 12-15-98 01:21 PM ET
well now. Don't I look foolish. Okay, I didn't actually look at the page all that closely.
DHE_X2 posted 12-15-98 11:04 PM ET
I can honestly say that I hate this guy's cynicism. It was funny as hell, but doesn't this guy have something better to do than to make fun of a minority of Christians?
DCA posted 12-15-98 11:25 PM ET
There is nothing better than making fun of Christians. And you can never be too cynical.
DCA,
God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent - it says so right here on the label. If you have a mind capable of believing all three of these attributes simultaneously, I have a wonderful bargain for you. No checks, please. Cash and in small bills.

Making fun of capitalists is better than making fun of christians, but only slightly.

Making fun of Commies is the best fun of all! You lost, get over it!! Haha!

Here's a good one, on a related note.
There is a group of parents suing their scholl system for having several fantasy works on a supplemental reading list as this in some way interferes with their wishes for the Christian upbringing of their children by introducing Paganism(and therefore, according to their claim, is against the establishment clause in the US constitution). Now, this sounds "normal" enough, but when you look at some of the specific books you find none other than the "Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S. Lewis, noted Christian author.
There is quite a consistent Christian thread running through that entire series, wouldn't you say?
Spoe posted 12-16-98 05:43 AM ET
If you want to a reference on it, I think it occured in Wisconsin, and was(or is going to be, I forget) heard before the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Pudz posted 12-16-98 09:29 PM ET
how is making fun of christians good?
just because you are going to hell doesn't mean you have to rank on my religion
DCA posted 12-16-98 09:39 PM ET
I don't have to, but it sure is an option and by God it's fun!

There was also the odd line in there about catholics needing to repent too...
I like the author's evidence. "I've heard that this game has caused hundreds if not thousands of suicides in US." Last I head it was over the past 20 years, something like 150 suicides. When compared with the millions that play, it means that the suicide rate of gamers is dramatically lower than the average US population, let alone teenagers.
But stupidity will always suvive. I guess that's why I can't wait to play Zahkarov and kick Miriam's ass...

Zorloc,
I could say something tasteless here about turning the other cheek, but I won't.
He he ho ho.
DHE_X2 posted 12-16-98 10:51 PM ET
actually, making fun of dumb ass jocks is the most fun. Especially when they hear you and make stupid threats on your life and you then proceed to beat the **** out of them.
today was a fun day.
~DHE, violence isn't the answer, but it sure as hell is fun.
Jay posted 12-17-98 06:23 PM ET
Hey did everyone closely inspect the web site? I mean the part which says something like "I found a new book of AD&D in the local store. I immediatly bought it and after seeing it was full of satanic material, I burned it to prevent evil from spreading any further..."
Hello ( knock knock) anybody up there?
Quill posted 12-18-98 10:50 AM ET
My thoughts exactly,Jay.
HELLO, EVERYONE !!!
It's a damn JOKE !
It's surprising that you can't see it !
Quill posted 12-18-98 10:55 AM ET
Making fun of Christians is great fun.
Example:
What about all the Buddhists, Taoists, etc.
who hadn't heard anything about Christianity until Asia established contacts with the West? Did they all go to hell without even having the chance of redemption?
God's BS! live with it!
DHE_X2 posted 12-18-98 12:28 PM ET
That has got to be the CRAPPIEST atheist arguement I've ever heard. I gues I've been spoiled by hearing DJ's, Maya's, and JB's arguements. Also, I did find that page funny, just because it seemed to make fun of Bible belt Christians(imvsansho, the spread a good message, just in the wrong way).
~DHE, The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd somethingmore to say...
