Uh...ok, wtf?

Dear Fringe Christian Right,

Thank you for the comedy. 



What is with these weird Christian groups and their use of the word "occultic"?  Isn't "occult" fine by itself?

Of course there is an "occultic" "Dungeons & Dragons game set", which currently has no characters, no rules, just one long out of print supplement (Manual of the Planes) and a supplement for another game entirely (ok, it is The Arcanum, which does have a cool red pentagram n the cover).

What I love is that Herbal Tea is the sign of devil Worship. HERBAL TEA! OMG, say it's not so!

Yeah... this is what I had to deal with growing up in the 80's. Thanks for the flashback...

I know. It's just plain insane.

Just to think these people were such a threat to our hobby in the 80s and now they are only worth mocking in public.

Well, since they now call the Democratic Party the Democrat Party they had to use the extra "ic"s somewhere...

I'm so glad that, at least where I live, normal Christians aren't too hard to find.

The extreme right is... well... irritating isn't a strong enough word.

That was unwatchable, but I did get as far as the wicker trash basket in his front yard. A wicker trash basket in your front yard is a sign that you are a weirdo, not the guy mailing you letters with cool bats and snakes on them.

I remeber this song! Thanks for the disturbing memories, Tim. And what's with Carmen saying he went to a small church? I remember him going to a church in Tulsa claiming to be the largest interracial, non-demonitational church in America. BTW, what's wrong with an old English cottage? I would love an old English cottage.
