This is such a challenging
topic to blog on but after much thought I finally found something to write
about. However before I dive in, I have
to echo many of my fellow bloggers thoughts about hate. AGREE, AGREE, AGREE!! We must have all been raised
by very thoughtful, strong mothers. I
know without a doubt that my mother’s teachings shaped me into the Social Worker
I am proud to be. I fight the impact of
hate every single day as I guide hurt children and families to forgiveness, and
healing.
I strongly dislike the
hate that many pop culture icons and pastimes have had to endure. For example Magic the Gathering has faced received
criticism from many religious groups because certain cards referred to demonic
creatures and symbols. In 1981, Mazes
and Monsters tells a story about a young man who experiences a psychotic episode and loses touch with
reality while playing a D&D type role-playing game. Bothered About Dungeons & Dragons (BADD)
was a group founded by Patricia Pulling who felt her son’s suicide was
influenced by a curse put on him by playing Dungeon and Dragons. "Should a Christian Play Dungeons &
Dragons?" 2001 and "Straight Talk on Dungeons and Dragons" 1989
were essays written by Bill Schnoebelen (a former Satanic priest) who felt that
D & D challenges morality and Christianity.
Finally, who hasn’t had their morality beat down after reading Harry
Potter.
Oh well. What do I
know? Please check out my fellow League
