Sure did, and even now that I'm a deacon in a strict Baptist church I still
get some morons that like to tell me how evil my hobby is.
I usually just ask them to tell me why, and then ask how they know. Not a
one has ever had any logical argument, much less any 1st hand experience
with RPG's.
Did my Senior thesis on Christianity and RPG's at Bible College.
Thankfully there are enough SANE people in this world that a lot of my profs
came around to my way of thinking! :-) (That RPG's aren't the problem -
crazy people are the problem! [In a very small nutshell.])
Unfortunately, I still haven't figured out how to get the parents to buy
gamin materials . . .:-)
And before anyone flames me telling me how backward my faith is - Hey we
ain't perfect, and some of us are trying!
