I love how he cites the made up controversy surrounding D&D as evidence that a damn children's game is satanic.
Everything that isn't directly funded by CBN is satanic!
Catholicism, Satanic!
Methodism, Satanic!
Coca-Cola, Satanic! - using the color of red is just like satan and all communists
BaseBall, Satanic - they scratch their nuts in a manner that pleases Beelzebub!

This brings back so much from my fundamental Southern Methodist childhood.
I remember all too well listening to a guest preacher at my Christian church speak about the evils of rock music.
He tried to convince us all that Olivia Newton John's "Let's Get Physical" had Satanic messages when listened to backwards.
Really? That's the best song Satan could use for his evil, evil agenda? "Let's Get Physical"?
A similar pastor convinced my parents that blinking Christmas lights were a sin; they symbolized a wavering faith in God. Oh, and that their son (yours truly) should not play with his boys because of his (my) "homosexual tendencies." I didn't know I was a fag, but the preacher sure did.
Damn that Olivia Newton John and her demon song.
Stupid Christians.

@7 - We had a Catholic priest like that. When I was around 8 or 9, he preached a one hour sermon on how all rock music was evil, and how parents had an obligation to make sure their children were never exposed to it, or they (the parents and the child) would be committing a mortal sin.
I don't think I had ever seen my dad so incensed over a sermon. First of all, Catholics like their sermons short - 10 minutes is pushing it. Second, although he never let me listen to any rock or pop music (right up until I was 18, in fact - I had to sneak it in my room at night with an ear phone. I claimed to be listening to talk radio), he didn't believe it was the place of a celibate, childless man to tell him how to raise his child. He couldn't stand that man from that point on.
Things in and of themselves are not inherently evil. Evil comes from within.

Last night in prayer and covenant with the lord of darkness, he told me that those kids have a discipline problem and a problem following directions. He told them to play "poker," not "pokemon." Kids these days...

The admonition at the end was the truest thing he had to say-"just don't think!" All he wants is to be able to tell you what to have in your head. All out of love for you and concern for your soul, of course.

I really have to stop playing D&D... all those 9 hours Sunday sessions, one too many pieces of pizza, one too many mountain dews, one too many "HA, multiclassing your elf as a druid and paladin is just dumb!" jokes... pretty soon I'm going to be a serious danger to society...
