The Occultist

While watching youtube on my 360, I saw a corner advertisement for a seperate, unrelated video. I was watching a video about the Gamecube and it was trying to direct me to an "ad" for this:
The text for it read: "The Occult: Black Magic, Ghosts and Dungeons and Dragons," all of which is awesome, but you'll notice that the inclusion of, "Dungeons and Dragons" at the end is a dead-giveaway. This is a re-hash of the idea from thirty years ago that Dungeons and Dragons = SATAN! 

The arguement is this: If you've ever rolled a 20-sided die and crit an orc, you're definitely going to Hell. The people spouting off this argument have clearly never seen the game played. The objective is to kill the ever-loving shit out of anything resembling Satan, which would at best make him wary of recruiting you for his army of Hellspawn.
Also: This "ad" is over two hours. That's not an ad. That's a movie. It shouldn't take over two hours to tell someone Satan = Bad!
Quite frankly, I'm just upset about the misleading title. I expect a 1000% more awesomeness and maybe some boobs when you mash enough words together like, "occult," "witchcraft," "ghosts," etc. together.
The entire "video," is just this bullshit image. And one of the side-bar websites listed, "muslimhope.com," is a pro-Christian/anti-Muslim site bordering on hate-speech. Going to this site probably puts you in a goverment watch-list, or rather a more-specific government watch-list. That's the legitimacy of what's going on.
Looking at the comments section, I couldn't find one overty-ironic or negative comment, which means that the close-to 100,000 people "viewing" this are dead-serious about what a man with a name similar to "Weasels" has to say. Just like they're dead searious about this:

Apparently I was wrong this whole time. It's not, "Astral projection," it's, "Astro Projection." 

Like so.
Seriously, it's like a virgin trying to explain sex with all this junk about Ouiji boards and witchcraft. At least try to conjure one demon before passing yourself off as an expert.

I went to the fair today here in town. I walked into the main building and saw a dinosaur display, much like a museum, featuring realistic models and fossils. A second later, I saw the banner over the exhibit, reading, "Creation Truth Ministries." It was a travelling Creationist exhibit which tried to prove the dinosaurs only existed a few thousand years ago, as opposed to hundreds of millions of years. I kept walking. 
I went onto their website, which states, "By definition, no apparent, perceived or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the Scriptural record."
From that platform, I marvel at the impossibility of arguing with these believers. They reject both history and TIME itself.That's like saying you were never a baby, because doing so admits that history and chronology are valid and there's no record of you ever having been a baby in the Scriptures. CASE CLOSED!
I don't understand why some Christian groups get into an uproar about the "Theory" of Evolution and why they literally go to the ends of the Earth to try and disprove it. Looking at the site, that's literally what this group has done and is doing. They're searching high and low for any scrap of "evidence" to disprove the "theory." They're digging up fossils and they're searching through caves like actual archaeologists, only after they find their samples they instantly declare them to be fakes placed there by "God," or possibly time-travelling Jesus. CASE CLOSED!
They're using real fossils to disprove Evolution. I don't understand how that works. That's like using a gun to disprove the existence of gun violence. It's like a kind of crazy that you've only ever had described to you in a comic book. It's like the nutjobs who think the pyramids were built by aliens, only these people have Bibles.
