Hi,

A response to an article expressing my views on D&D raised an interesting
question.  What concerns me personally about the game, and that is why
I made a point of titling the article as my own view, is that adults are
encouraging youths to play the D&D games.  Here I'm refering to a
case where a local school district allows youths at school, according
to my past neighbor who teaches there, to play the game to improve their
imagination skills.  Also, look at the advertising and displays you'll
find in the many hobby stores, book stores, and department stores that
sell the games.  Is there any check made of how mature or stable the person
is who buys the games?

My other major concern is the way Christian terminology is used, and as I view
it, abused; and how some satan worship symbols and signs are found in some
D&D games.  As a Christian I personally find it very objectionable.
So I recommend that Christians look carefully at what they do
for enjoyment, and take the time to check out what their children are
doing, too.  The choice, as always, is yours.

God Bless,

	Mike Andrews
