Christianity is fantasy roleplaying. They're all trying to convince each other to join the table, and they get mad if you break character. Like they expect everyone to be method actors or something. Smh.

I mean, they keep telling me that their clerics have real spells. But I've never been able to wholly suspend disbelief.

Christianity is fantasy role-playing and it's hurting America, the title is correct!

They used to get mad if you broke character. Now you just need to occasionally say you’re sorry and it’s all good, at least at most tables.

Every campaign I run is about the evils of colonialism and capitalism, so…yes?

Of all the things that are hurting America, this one isn't even worth mentioning. Hell dude, it's probably helping Americans. What a strange topic to fixate on.

Every time I level up, a bible spontaneously combusts.

Raise your hand if part of your love of TTRPGs is still due to rebellion against fundie christian parents even many years later.

I believe, in my heart, that every time I roll the dice, a chick-trac convert has to say an extra prayer to keep the devil from rising out of the sea.

And I use DnD version 3 rules for grappling, so they had better pray hard, beacuse that's a lot of rolls.

Man, I just like rolling dice and doing silly voices..

To be honest, now DnD is played even in evangelical circles. The same journal published 2 months after this article an other one which defends our game.

Memes are a thing where transphobes use references to movies made by trans people to make their points, and leftists use references fascist propaganda in movies to make theirs. Neither group seems to understand the irony of it.

The real irony is misinterpreting starship troopers - a very on the nose critique of fascism - as fascist propaganda and then accusing others of not understanding it.

Symbols and ideas change over time, same way the Swatiska, ok sign, and many Celtic/Nordic runes was used by Nazi lovers. This one is not special.
