3rdragonI was browing the list of legal book and movie and music downloads helpfully provided by ITS, and on one of the book places, under subject: Fantasy games, I found this:
A Christian Response to Dungeons & Dragons
The Catechism of the New Age
They want our children.
They want our future.
With remarkable evangelistic zeal, the advocates of New Age thinking have captured the hearts and minds of thousands of kids through ingenious cartoons and movies, comics and toys, books and music. Featuring monsters, magic, violence, and sensuality, our children's popular culture has been transformed into a kind of "catechism of the New Age" -an introduction to occultism.
One of the chief weapons used in this spiritual raid on our children is a game-just a simple game. It is called Dungeons & Dragons and has sold millions of copies to youngsters all over America.
In this revealing booklet, authors Peter Leithart and George Grant show just exactly what this phenomenal game is, how it works, and why it is so popular. They also provide a Biblical critique of the game so that Christians can know how to respond.
If you've been looking for a short, concise, and accurate assessment of the current barrage of New Age ideas on our children and our future, look no more-you've found it.
It's 18 pages long, from 1987. The bold text is original.
I may just have to read it.
So, do you folks feel indoctrinated?

I refuse to submit... refuse...to...submit... *falls over under the spell*
