He's a 17th Century French courtier. A dashing swordsman with an eye for the ladies? Damn you! That's the role I was born to play.

When doctors get this god complex, we note that they are mentally unstable. Maybe that was why Jews kept insisting that the Messiah was not god but a man. Anybody who thinks he is god has something wrong going on. You bastard. I actually spit coughed my coffee onto the keyboard when I read this. You now owe me $39.95.

Phatboy responds to me:
quote:quote: But that isn't what you originally said. Besides, even if you are trying to claim that you were only talking about the occult, how does one explain Joseph's occult interpretation of dreams?
quote: Incorrect. I have never claimed to believe or not believe. I have simply said that my lack of belief in a specific version of a category does not indicate I have no belief in the entire category. F'rinstance, I don't like okra. That doesn't mean I don't like all vegetables.
quote: No, that isn't what I say at all. What I say is that just because I don't believe in your god doesn't mean I don't believe in any god. Note, this doesn't mean I do believe in god. You, after all, are in the same position as an atheist with regard to all of the other gods you don't believe in.
quote: Incorrect. I have yet to describe whether or not I believe in god at all. I have specifically refrained from doing so in order to ensure people cannot claim, "You only say that because you're an X." After all, truth is not beholden to whether or not I believe something. If life evolved, then life evolved with or without me.
quote: (*chuckle*) I have claimed to be god, but that was to point out that someone couldn't show I wasn't.
quote: Since I have never claimed to know god, I wouldn't know.
quote: I refuse to say. Rrhain WWJD? JWRTFM!

crashfrog responds to me:
quote: Well, more pistols than swords, but that's the general concept. Of course, sex appeal can have its problems. At one point, I had to tell a character that I need to talk to him about something important that cannot be discussed here..."And it is not that I love you." In a French accent. We had a good laugh. I've given him the perk/quirk combination that he has alcohol tolerance but only drinks the best. So he got to spend some time chatting up the barrista at the local coffee shop in order to get a decent cafe americaine. Rrhain WWJD? JWRTFM!

I ask Rrhain:
Am I correct in assuming that you believe human wisdom to be the origin of all concepts and beliefs?
Rrhain replies:"I refuse to say." Phatboy writes:
(*Chuckle*)...this reminds me of a scripture...If I may: NIV writes: Matt 21:23-27=Jesus entered the temple courts, and, while he was teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him. "By what authority are you doing these things?" they asked. "And who gave you this authority?" Jesus replied, "I will also ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. John's baptism-where did it come from? Was it from heaven, or from men?" They discussed it among themselves and said, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask, 'Then why didn't you believe him?' But if we say, 'From men'-we are afraid of the people, for they all hold that John was a prophet." So they answered Jesus, "We don't know." Then he said, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

D&D=Paper+pencil/(laziness)mountain dew+cheetos you see D&D requires you to use your hands and meager math skills and your imagination. this causes your body to burn calories, hence it is excersise and i shun all excersise as being from the devil. Hmm, I guess you don't like getting laid, either, because it is too much like exercise, hm? This message has been edited by AdminPhat, 03-11-2005 23:56 AM

Not really stanism and D&D but certainly related. According to this article the Israeli army sees D&D players as detatched from reality.

I would say that they may be losing some of their most creative and inovative soldiers. Well, duh. Those would be the people most likely to resist oppressive orders and operations against Palestinians.

Could'nt resist the bad pun!
Seriously though, myself and several friends have been playing D&D for the best part of 25 years and we all are at least agnostic. Does this means we are less likely to choose to be satan followers the than a somebody who firmly believes in its existance? Is D&D better or worse than something like Warhammer RPG? It has pretty elaborate 'dark gods'.

Seriously though, myself and several friends have been playing D&D for the best part of 25 years and we all are at least agnostic. Lucky you - I haven't had a decent game in years... 1986, Dales Bible camp - very fundementalist, very charismatic... some youth from a neighbouring church had naively bought a copy of Basic D&D, and were struggling through trying to play in one of their caravans. I stupidly stepped in, offering my six years expertise to help them out. Naturally, they loved having an experienced DM, and we had a great game. Then it slowly dawned on me that there were numerous elders of their church, surrounding the caravan in the twilight, praying fervantly against our game. Eventually they raided us, and thus began the pointing out of pictures of orcs, and the asking of how this could be gloryfying to God, etc. As an outsider, I quietly slipped away into the night, pissing myself laughing Next day they had to take the set back to the shop, where they were allowed to buy a copy of MERP, as Tolkein was felt to be 'ok'. They also picked up an expansion - 'Paths of the Dead' - and so it all began again... Good times

here's got to be room in their army for people who's first response to a threat is to set it on fire and/or blow it up. Or alternatively to go stark raving mad and start killing all their companions? TTFN, WK

Of course, a much more interesting question would be, "What were you doing skulking around a bible camp in the middle of the night?"
