It's not worth a thread so I'm just gonna grab a beer for the road and tell you all bye. I'm heading out. I'm thankful for what CF has been because it helped me find Orthodoxy but it's no longer CF and that is starting to show. Please forgive me if anything I've ever written has offended...

Nevermind.

So, 1/3 of the "magic" in Harry Potter is based on actual British folklore?

Nevermind.

No can do. I'd just make a very bad showing for Orthodoxy and end up with a lot of hard feelings in my heart.

Probably WoW if she plays a 'lock.

I'm not a regular Theology poster so I can't. I would give him an Aye, though! Anyone willing to handle the sewer snake with the kind of backup there must be in there deserves respect.

You misunderstood what I was saying. Not surprising considering how unclear I often am. This is what I was trying to say in my typically unclear way. It just seems a bit off to flatly condemn one questionable activity and condone another. That's all I was trying to say.

I remember reading LotR in 9th grade and some D&D geeks looked at the cover with Gandalf holding Glamdring and they scoffed and said, "That book is stupid, wizards can't use swords!" I just laughed. :D

No, we just have some benches along the wall.

Ah, I think I see the source of the problem here. You have probably been exposed to some of the darker game settings that use the D&D rules to play. I've only played in the Forgotten Realms and I don't think I've ever seen anyone named "the god of ---" or anything that praises openly demonic...

I find it kind of fascinating in a gory, morbid, train-wreck sort of way.

Our digital camera broke so I can't post any updated pics but I agree that the time sure does get away from you. James was 10 months old yesterday and the big ONE is screaming up on us fast.

What I don't understand is how you can so roundly condemn Harry Potter, D&D and even have doubts about Starwars yet think it perfectly fine to listen to AC/DC, Great White, Def Lepperd and any other number of classic rock bands that have dark themes and very dark, suggestive music.

Too bad he didn't take your very reasonable approach rather than accusing us of having no faith. I agree to a large extent and it truly permeates every aspect of the entertainment media.

Me too but it's so hard to find anyone to play with anymore.

Though you may not feel like it, you are given a lot more freedom here in discussing Islam than I was given on that board. I didn't even try to proselytize anyone, I was just trying to be a Christian but the act of letting my faith enter into my dialogue was too much. That is repressive and...

I joined a Muslim forum a while back to learn more about Islam so I could be a better neighbor to a Muslim family in the community. They were very nice people but it soon became very repressive as I was not allowed to post anything that "called to a religion other than Islam" or post quotes...

Read the debate between the Monk George and the Muslim teachers. There is a longer version posted somewhere in the OO forum, maybe they can point you to it.
