    The comic being fully committed to the idea that D&D teaches you actual magic spells that actually work in real life is fucking wild. Like, bro, this is supposed to be Christian propaganda but you’re out here telling me that one small spell can get me $200 of D&D sourcebooks? Sign me the fuck up for Satan, this Jesus dude ain’t shit.

      This is supposed to be Christian propaganda? So the fucked up comic by the same guy that one of the other comments is talking about is actually serious instead of being a story about how much Christianity sucks? That’s seriously fucked up …

        Welcome to Chick tracts! Evangelicals like (or used to like, dunno if they still do) buying copies to leave in public bathrooms, on public benches, etc. Somehow this is supposed to ‘bring people to God’.

            …wow…my whole country is full of satanists, cuz we mourn the dead - admittedly day after halloween, which are only recently slowly adding - instead of being festive.

            And it’s christian holiday soooo…lol

            I find that one really funny because yeah as a pagan it is my most solemn holiday of the year, I light a candle for my dead loved ones and have a nice little chat with them hoping they can hear it somehow. You know, normal stuff people do to honor the dead.

            ETA: It also marks the beginning of the season of death, where the days keep getting shorter, it keeps getting colder, and life rapidly winds down for the winter. It’s a good time to reflect on endings and to remember that endings lead to new beginnings.

              That ritual is not on the pre-approved list. You must go through the proper channels. Your deviance has beed noted.

              But in all seriousness, this is exactly how these reactionary evangelicals want to control people: take things that are perfectly normal human activities and put them exclusively under the purview of their own structures and hierarchies.

          I had one left on my door once, and in the most amazing time my gyno office had a huge random stack someone left and I took every single one.

          Handed them all to friends to see the batshitness.

          Guy use to go to conventions and hand them out.

        Jack chick was an insane evangelical Christian who genuinely didn’t understand stuff like how he came off to non Christians

        It’s not actual propaganda per se, evangelicals in particular are trying to provoke a reaction they can try to litigate. It’s a grift.

      Yes, but the price of that temporary earthly magic is your immortal soul!

      So, theoretically, it’s not worth it.
