Re: [HOE] Father Ramos site

Be willing to bet as well that given a couple of years' time, someone does a
cost-benefit analysis on the Demon line and cancels it, but that's my own
personal opinion. Still don't quite understand why they decided to do this
book when they've got a good thing like Exalted going well, but then again,
I'm not their development department or marketing department.

I personally was only mildly offended by the site. I knew what I was looking
for on the site and I knew what was actually wrong with some of the things
that were said, so my mind didn't really wonder about it too much. True to
their intent, the tone is, at least for a Christian outlook, fanatical at
best and ignorant at worst. And you're right, some Christians will see it as
a joke as I do (albeit a joke in very very poor taste), some won't ever see
it, and some won't care. It'll be a few that will actually take up arms (in
a manner of speaking), but like any group of human beings(religious,
secular, or otherwise), these few can be dreadfully contagious to the group
as a whole. I think most of the concern lies in the concept of "guilt by
association". We know what's said isn't true and that we're not Satan
worshippers, but, if you're like me, you'd rather that someone else not do
something that slants people against you, simply because "you play those
roleplaying games like that Demon don't you?" You can say and explain all
you like, but the reaction to you will be colored from the get go. I'd
rather limit the amount of coloring that is done for me and show people how
I color my own hobby. :)
