JS is not just a has-been. His ministry claims to need and raise just under $5million per month just for broadcast time. They have an extensive TV and radio network. Attacks on psychology are almost a daily ritual in each of their programs.

“The psychological way and the way of the Cross are diametrically opposed to each other,” he said. “They are so diametrically different and originate from such totally different sources that there is no way the two can be wed. As for preachers who claim that the two can be melded, it shows either a terrible ignorance of the Cross of Christ, or else, gross unbelief.”

if it weren’t for the fundamentalists urging a boycott of “Harry Potter” for “promoting witchcraft” I would have never read the books/watched the movies 🙂

I learned this in the 1980’s when there was Dungeons and Dragons, which is really a fairly tame roleplaying game, and there were also In Nomine and Vampire: the Masquerade, which were substantially less tame. But the anti-gaming movement (MADD and its allies) never, ever mentioned anything but Dungeons and Dragons. Why? Because people had heard of it, so that got them attention, money, and support.

An Evangelical friend in the early 1990’s told me the following story. The 700 Club ran a highly inflammatory and biased segment on D&D, and being a player himself, he wrote to them and said so. He got back a letter which said, “We’re glad to hear you’re among the millions of Americans concerned about D&D. Would you consider making a donation to our important work on this cause?”

Money. Power. Pretty interesting obsessions for people who are purportedly the children of the Kingdom of God.
