I remember these kinds of tracts from the late 1970s; even at the age of 8 I thought they were mean and/or unbelievable. The one about D&D was around when I first heard the urban legend of some kids who killed themselves because their characters died. Undoubtedly, there must be some connection.

These are just more examples of someone abusing his First Amendment rights to spread a message of hate.

Also, I'm not even going to comment on parallels between Christianity and older religions....

embarrassing personal revelation: these tracts remind me of my own brother.
