Just making sure, but is this satire?

@willquestion Satire? Perish the thought. Pretending to warn people of the dangers of comparing the reality of the world in which people claim to be able to magically cure illness with a magical fantasy world where disease is easily wiped out by a trip to church in an effort to plant that very seed of doubt would be... insidious.

This is BS. I am Roman Catholic. I am a Dungeon Master. Dungeons and Dragons is no more dangerous than the people who play it. The people who are "corrupted" by the game are already weak minded and are seeking an "out" from reality. The problem is already a deep rooted physiological problem with the people who play. It is most unfortunately that some mentally unstable people play the game. It has created a very bad stigma. WOE TO ALL WHO WATCH THIS VIDEO FOR D&D IS NOT A BAD GAME!

Clerics in D&D are nothing like real priests. Clerics keep their hands off the altar boys.

Poe's law states:

Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of fundamentalism that someone won't mistake for the real thing.[2]

The core of Poe's law is that a parody of something is by nature extreme. That makes it impossible to differentiate from sincere extremism.

A corollary of Poe's law is the reverse phenomenon: sincere fundamentalist beliefs being mistaken for a parody of that belief.

@thisplaceisstupid i think that the seed of doubt was planted from the moment this so called "higher power" didn't do anything, it just grows when you compare it to the average idea of a god and i don't think d&d would a complete would without some element of religion thrown in.

Its funny that you know so much about a game you claim that's evil and Satanic.
