I had to survive this crap in the
   80s:*[1]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LN_nuxOhT2s
   I was 13 years old when it aired. I wasn't a D&D player, except
   for an AD&D game on my Intellivision... nd I LOVED the Saturday
   morning cartoon... faithful viewer... but I'd see my friends
   play. [it wasn't my game - I was a computer geek more than a
   gamer]*
   At the time, haven't never MET anybody who remotely thought that
   way, I couldn't believe anybody actually thought that way
   anywhere.*

   TV Evangelists were, to me, a great hoax; as far as was
   concerned, everybody knew they were full of crap, and the people
   who sat in the audience MUST have been in on the joke for our
   entertainment.

   But then.. met my FIRST evangelical fundy around the age of
   21-22.*

   I was like.. .woah. These people really DO exist.

   I'm still in shock all these years later. Part of me still
   believed, they MUST know they're full of it and they're just
   playin. But then, I hear about abortion clinic bombings and
   other acts of terrorism through the years.

   But man, that D&D and paranoid parents and children's rumors
   about satanic cults meeting in some creepy hills a few miles
   away from my home town in NJ. Or at the old Elizabeth NJ
   orphanage that had been abandoned for 30 years. [we're all sneak
   in and spook ourselves]

   I always chalked that stuff up to paranoid parents. Those I
   believed in. But Evangelicals? Seemed positively made up.
