except for violent video games causing violent kids
That would be fatherless households caused by feminism, which the evangelical right also opposed. They had the cause wrong but they also opposed the actual cause. Not a bad score card all things considered.
Which you can connect right back to feminism decoupling sex from marriage, meaning women are now bred constantly with poor stock of men. The same type of guy to be a deadbeat, is also the type to pass on impulsive, violent and overall bad genes. Meaning the kid was born with a bad hand.
Which holistically also means that bad hand is exacerbated by their mother's poor quality. Because the type to have sex with Tyrone the Hoodrat isn't providing a good nurture either.
Impulsive genes can also be hyper-competitive genes. They just require more social training to learn how to harness these impulses in a productive way.
Impulsive, violent males tend towards high-risk behavior, which lowers their average life-span, but can have high rewards, both genetically and socially.
For example Rock Stars are highly competitive, highly motivated and have a bonkers high risk lifestyle. Successful rock stars are also drowning in reproduction opportunities.
As if the distinctions we're talking about are more impactful than the promotion of crime as a culture, the inculcation of race hatred, the dependency on the state, mass fatherlessness, and rampant drug abuse.
Most of those were caused by political policy poisoning incentives, and a culture which promoted them.
I'd add in most of the satanic panic as well that leaked into the 90s from the 80s, namely their opposition to rock and metal music. Considering WotC though, they might have stumbled into something about DnD though. Wrong reasonings, but still ended up being right.
The "satanic panic" stuff was started by the Finders cult having satanic rituals with kids in a tunnel. As well as the increasing amounts of child abductions and abuse in military daycares.
All of the other stuff was to help cover up those facts.
TSR was in charge of D&D/AD&D up until the mid-late 90s, when they went bankrupt; WotC bought them out then; I was actively playing at the time. Chick tracts had been ranting about it pretty much since the original D&D box sets with the shitty blue dice were a thing.
Well, I haven't played since (TSR-owned) second edition, and I was only a player. My RPG was Werewolf: the Apocalypse, anyway. I still have that set from back in the 2e days, so I don't need to buy any more. :P
It was less that DnD was evil and more that actual occultists saw its popularity as a way to recruit. Which they do. Maybe overblown, but it makes sense.
Well, maybe if they didn't alienate everyone by allowing charlatans to run megachurches that scammed old ladies out of their pensions with faith healing. You know, when they're not having sex with male escorts while zonked out on meth. Oh, but he just bought the meth a single time with the intention of throwing it away. How did he know where to score some crystal? Stop asking question! Also, it's totally normal to get a "massage" from a gay escort that's zonked out on meth in a hotel room.
I fully expect the Christcucks to get mad at me for pointing out why people like me became disillusioned with the faith instead of being mad at the people who do the thing that pushed people away in the first place.
I’m as mad about those people using the church for greed and all other evil. As a kid we left a church because the pastor was sleeping around and involved with drugs. We found a great one after that. Do you still believe or totally close off to going to church again?
Personally, I don't bother with organized religions. Keyword: organized. Growing older, I can find some truths in parts of scripture and I can apply it to my day to day. But going to a proscribed church only ever reminds me of how faith and belief has become an utterly utilitarian force for self-serving interests instead of the feeling and emotion that gives one purpose.
That's what people in general should do. Take some bits and pieces of advice and apply it in your life not worship a god just to be a decent person. But I think for some people, that's just an impossible task.
Basically all of the Mega Churches are scams, most of the zealots were idiots and grifters, the entire "pray the gay away" movement was a fraud, and now we've got pastors responding to the stupidity of the Evangelist movement by becoming card-carrying progressives. The Anglican Church might as well be the Church of Satan at this point, which might actually be less ridiculous and degenerate.
The only solution I've seen from the degeneration of Christendom is to embrace Catholicism. You know, where the Pope is a literal Communist acolyte following Liberation Theology, and is the reference to "The Cathedral" we talk about, and whom invented the concept of Social Justice in the first place.
I'm with... FCD... on this, part of the problem here is how organized religion behaves. We need more local preachers standing up against this shit, and people learning valuable lessons of individual responsibility from the Bible, rather than collectivist apologetics.

I know I might be biased on this point due to the way I lean, but its part of the whole point of Protestantism, and I find it strange that so many [for want of a better phrase] "neo-evangelicals" reject it in favor of Catholicism. They point to the fact that a lot of denominations of Protestants are just as, if not more, pozzed and in the grip of Liberation Theology than the Catholics, but that kind of misses the point.
At its most basic level, Protestantism says "When all else fails, you are your own church." Its why there are like five-hundred different Protestant faiths: "I dont like this denomination. I am going to go make my own! With blackjack and hookers! Wait..."
I have seen some stats that the average American Non-Religious individual is still more religious than most European Christians, in that they pray more often and go to church more often, they just dont have a defined church. Which tells me that the issue is not that Americans are becoming less religious. They just dont have a church they feel meets their needs. Which is probably what will spawn the 4th Great Awakening that gets brought up from time to time (since similar issues caused the 3rd)
Well I do believe the Bible condemns homosexuality amongst thousands of other things. My grandfather was always suspicious of churches that had a massive population. But I agree about studying the word. I love my church but it’s not the church that offers salvation. It’s Christ. But the progressive Christian movement is dangerous because they seem to want to conform to the world.
But of course, you opening with acting like a massive asshole by lumping everyone in the faith in with the absolute worst people in their group is totally okay.
Really jogs the noggin' why no one even wants to reason with you to get you to join back.
They won't engage with you to change your mind, they want you to stay right where you are. Children who can't differentiate between imaginary and reality are much easier to prosletyse to anyway. Besides the godboys need people like you on the outside that they can point at and feel holier than and morally superior to. Its all part of the christcuck cope.
It really sounds like you hate the organization, and then get mad at everyone involved in the overall faith. As if every Christian in the country held a vote about any of these things, or that even a majority of them approved of it once they found out.
Many people think the Left and the Right in the USA are two sides of the same coin, but even the craziest people on the Right like Jack Thompson thought banning video games was unconstitutional. When you dig deeper and look at the facts, you realize there’s no comparison between the two sides.

Well realistically now Hasbro. So now corporate globohomo evil is involved. In addition to whatever weird Seattle hippy evil they had going on.

Magic the Gathering is innocent, though.
Or that violent kids is a bad thing when the violent ones are good. We need some crusades.

Of course, the only thing that changes with them is they moved onto young girls. Or maybe not.

I can respect that.

The spirit of the Reformation carries on.
Honestly, how many others were doing it?

Nice job proving my point.

"There's sin and hypocrisy in the world therefore Christianity is false" isn't much of a position.
Wait whose fault is it again that charlatans are "allowed" to run a church?
