    Obviously. Darkleaf should have gotten a Reflex check, and, even if that failed, a Fortitude save versus Poison.

    And, hello?! The other girl is a cleric! Raise Dead? True Ressurection? WISH?!

    Honestly...

    If you're saying that Catholicism was the first religion that followed Jesus Christ (thought it should be noted they follow Him very loosely), you are incorrect. There were certainly religions started after the Catholic church was founded, but true Bible believing followers of Christ were not brought forth from the Catholic church, but rather survived through the oppression of the Dark Ages.
  • MantridMantrid Lockpick Join Date: 2003-12-07 Member: 24109Members
    Well, no, of course not. I'd assume that the first religion to follow Jesus would be those of the Jewish faith...

    Of course, there is absolutely no way to anything because, as I continuously maintain, the Bible should be interpreted as a religious document, and not a document regarding history or science.

    Science, science, science. Everybody worries about scientific truths. That's an oxymoron. What is scientifically true today will be found untrue tomorrow, yet science is used as the foundation of all arguments for (and often against) evolution. It's similar to building a house on a rotting foundation.

    The tract certainly went overboard, but it does bear some grounds in reality. I've never been allowed to play Dungeons and Dragons because of the spellcasting. Don't want to, either. I don't meddle with witchcraft.
  • MantridMantrid Lockpick Join Date: 2003-12-07 Member: 24109Members
    ...

    It's a game...

    It has nothing to do with witchcraft, because its a game.

    Its completely fake.

    The only possible things it has in common with reality is ancient mythology, like a four-element system...

    Just because it's played in game form doesn't mean that it doesn't teach one complacency with witchcraft. I'm not saying that it actually teaches one actual spells, but rather that it familiarizes young adults with witchcraft, which is a dangerous thing to do.
  • MantridMantrid Lockpick Join Date: 2003-12-07 Member: 24109Members
    No, it really doesn't. The people who "experiment" have other issues.

    I mean, by your logic, games like Half-Life familiarize people with violence, dismemberment, and disregard for human life, which is a "dangerous thing".

    Seeing how this is a forum for a modification of Half-Life, I don't think you can say you are uninvolved.

    Now, what is more to worry about, "experimenting with witchcraft" (which is widely regarded to be just wishful thinking), or the desensitizing to death and gore, which can be achieved in real life?

    I don't want to mess with witchcraft at all. There are forces beyond my control that can harm me. Note: <b>I can't control those forces</b>. They are not to be trifled with.

    I <b>can</b> control videogames. I am accountable for my own behavior. However, if I exhibit signs of violent behavior that are related to that game, it's no longer played. Simple as that.

    Besides, I don't play Natural Selection anyway. I quit playing it around a year ago, I think.

  • MedHeadMedHead Join Date: 2002-12-19 Member: 11115Members, Constellation
    Negative. It's not that simple. Can you control me? No. How then can you control the spirit world, with which witchcraft directly connects? <b>You can't.</b> Not without endangering yourself more than you know. That was my point, and it still stands.
  • MantridMantrid Lockpick Join Date: 2003-12-07 Member: 24109Members
    To make me fear the "Spirit World", you must first prove to me it exists.

    Such a concept has no basis in anything scientific whatso ever. I can't believe that the electrical and chemical impulses in the brain will not only survive after the organism ceases to function, but also be able to interact with percievable matter and energy.

    See my previous post. I don't base my beliefs on the science of man. It is fallible, it is fleeting, it is found to be untrue.

    The reason it is fallible, fleeting, and occaisonially untrue is because of its very nature. Science is all about the formation of hypothesis, the testing of these hypothesis, and then either validation or rejection.

    No system, any where at any time has ever gotten it right the first time. Anything in the history of humanity has had some trial and error.

    As for beliefs based on things other than the "science of man", it is equally unfounded, and almost always proved to be untrue, with little room for rebuttal.

    Hehe, I don't <b>need</b> to rebut anything concerning what I believe. It's what I believe, that's it. I know it's true.

    And how exactly do you prove what I believe is untrue? Through science?

    Eh. About witchcraft and D&D...D&D is no more witchcraft than watching DBZ makes you a supersaiyan. I'm not saying that witchcraft doesn't exist, or isn't dangerous/wrong to meddle with, but a game is just that...a game.

    If you obsess over it, then you might have some problems...but that's a different issue.
