I think these people have a point. D&D could be dangerous to theists. Since some theists accept the existence of demons, deities and the supernatural, it is possible that because of their belief system they are more likely to confuse reality with imagination when playing the game. On the other hand, atheists/agnostics/skeptics are less likely to be affected by the game because their model of reality does not include creatures of the imagination and supernatural beings. -- Yosi Hoshen, AT&T Bell Laboratories Naperville, Illinois, Mail: ihnp4!ihu1m!jho
