Ia!! Gygax F'tagn!!
Pagan Prattle gives us this (No permalinks, but it's the second article down), giving a screed from Jack Chick's site, Should a Christian Play Dungeons & Dragons? the thorough piss-take it deserves.
Two things come to mind reading that article - firstly the author believes that "The Cthulhu Mythos is real", since he believed in it "when he was a Satanist". Sorry, but H.P.Lovecraft made it all up. The fact that one mixed-up teenage-rebellion-satanist once believed something was real doesn't make it true.
Secondly, all the DnD-is-evil stuff actually makes sense if you subscribe to Jack Chick's paranoid flavour of extreme fundamentalism. But Chick-ism has little or nothing to do with mainstream Christianity; he's the west's answer to the Taliban.
