Eh, but thats public christianity in the the media these days. Its not about the faith, its about face. Atheist myself, but i did see on a church wall. And I completely agree
"Saints don't think less of themselves. They think of themselves less."
Maybe someone should tell the Christians Children Fund.

@SynnerSaint fine, more money for us DnD players.

The CCF actually requested that their promotional material and banner ads not be near or in association with D&D. Through a break down of communication this was misinterpreted as "We wont accept money raised through something we don't indorse." Through a breakdown of communication between the Con and the people it was misinterpreted as "We won't take that filthy devil worshipping D&D money." It's not like the money was offered and denied. The charity was changed months before the convention.
-
Look the bottom line is the CCF isn't willing to go the extra mile to help starving children. There it is, I said it. Send your money elsewhere. We miss ya GG.

I'm surprised that it sold so cheaply. I think the whole Christian Children's Fund thing was just something that was spread by an angry gamer. Even if that was the reason, it's their right to reject the donation if they want to.
-
They didn't actually reject the money, they just wouldn't give them promotional materials, because everyone knows D&D supports the devil.
-
And this is why you should donate your money to a secular charity which has no other motives than to help suffering children.

I would have happily bid $2k, just to bust that bad boy out on game night.
Yeah, I'm a nerd.

Well ... I would be more concerned about actually helping starving kids instead of upholding some sort of image
But anyway, the money will help some people

I was disgusted to hear that Chistian Childrens Fund rejected the $17,000 raised becuase it was 'tainted' by the evil that is Dungeons and Dragons

I heard about that yesterday, and tears of rage rolled down my face. Their official statement was something to the effect of "we have an image to uphold, and if it looks like we're endorsing gaming, it will taint our integrity". I'm sure those starving children don't care where the money comes from. I couldn't sleep knowing I'd denied underprivileged children a warm place to sleep, or a hot meal. There may be some kind of logic behind that decision, but I'll never understand it.
