9:24 PM Anna: will you tell me a joke? i'm feeling sad

9:25 PM and you are funny

me: Over at the talk page for Conservapedia's article on the pen-and-paper role playing game Dungeons and Dragons, several armchair demonologists are disappointed with the article's “shockingly neutral point of view” regarding D&D in general and the game's positive depiction of magic in particular. Another contributor defends the hobby, countering that the game does not actually promote such things as witchcraft, but the fundamentalists aren't buying. “I'm sorry, but I've heard too many accounts of demonic attacks stemming from Dungeons and Dragons to take claims of it being innocent seriously,” writes one skeptical contributor.

9:28 PM Anna: Hahahaha, demonic

me: Indeed, Satan's strategies of deceit are often an item of contention. On the talk page for Genesis, we find a theological dispute regarding whether or not the serpent depicted therein is actually Satan or simply a snake. An administrator is firmly convinced that the snake is, indeed, Satan, noting that “snakes don't talk to people and convince them to grab some fruit, much less cause people do [sic] disobey God.” A contributor arguing otherwise retorts that “[s]erpents walked on four legs before God cursed them. The notion that they no longer talk is irrelevant.” It's a good point, but the logic (such as it is) seems lost on the administrator, who merely repeats his earlier assertion. “Snakes don't talk people into disobeying God,” he says again “Satan does.” The contributor tries to explain that he'd just established that snakes were different in those days, but this only makes the administrator angrier. “If you intend to continue this fight, then I'm going to boot you from the site,” he responds. “Last warning.”
