D&D merely provided a setting conducive to his "acting out" in a variety of ways, the most extreme being an attempt to pummel me.<BR/><BR/>To push your extreme analogy a bit farther, I'd suggest that clinic bombings are not necessarily separate from religion. However, it's "messed-up" theology that provides the springboard for a sick, sinful & destructive act.<BR/><BR/>Gaming is not the problem, but a game system like D&D that combines the elements I wrote about in my post has the potential to be a springboard for garbage as well.<BR/><BR/>Let me quote John Paul II (or at least his biographer) - "Ideas have consequences, and bad ideas can have lethal consequences."
