Pearl-clutching "christians" used to be deathly afraid of anything with even slightly negative undertones. "Dungeons? Dragons? That's the devil! Away Satan! Our children are making pacts with the devil!" Satan was historically represented by a dragon in Christian mythology.
Don't forget the woman whose son committed suicide so she created an anti-D&D group called Bothered About Dungeons and Dragons. Her group described D&D as "a fantasy role-playing game which uses demonology, witchcraft, voodoo, murder, rape, blasphemy, suicide, assassination, insanity, sex perversion, homosexuality, prostitution, satanic type rituals, gambling, barbarism, cannibalism, sadism, desecration, demon summoning, necromantics, divination and other teachings."
checks notes so... the same as the bible?
I think the Bible fails on the role-playing game front and I don't remember any voodoo, but otherwise yeah?
No no, there's a lot of make believe power sets you can pretend to have in there.
