That's a 'great' Chick comic; they're all pretty similar. If you're not of the fundamentalist Christian persuasion, you'll likely find one or more targetted at you if you look around -Catholics, Muslims, Jews, homosexuals, pro-choicers, people who listen to rock music, scientists, and so many others. The 'chick tracts' are almost entertaining in their extremism, except that they're so hateful. Bet'cha can't read just one though

Don't say I didn't warn ya though lol: http://www.chick.com/catalog/tractlist.asp

I don't think this would even be an issue without a certain amount of ridiculous publicity in the early-mid 1980s very much like that Chick comic.

Pen and paper RPGs encourage imagination, creativity, and problem-solving. It can be developed into something else according to the person running the game, but I really think everyone's more interested in having fun by telling a story and overcoming challenges than dabbling in the occult.

(In case you're concerned that this kind of role-playing is anything but harmless, this link academically answers allegations of the occult, suicide rates, and more relating to role-playing games)

EDIT: Update, this one cracks me up lol http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0099/0099_01.asp
