Oh shit, this thread is still alive?
Might as well give my two cents. If I haven't already, though didn't find any post of mine
We Catholics tend to make a difference between really summoning the dead or trying to use magic and roleplaying games or MtG.
Like >>322634 already pointed out these kinds of games are mostly very wholesome promoting creativity, group play and oddly enough social interaction with others while keeping you away from degeneracy like normie parties and drugs.
Most people that have a problem with these kind of things are protestants, and as far as I know only American ones too.
I don't know anybody who would oppose these games except a couple of evangelicals (a sect which originated in America).
The only thing that's getting really borderline is MtG with their recent influx of pozz in lots of cards.
Once they openly start giving money to such businesses like Planned Parenthood or an alphabet-supporting group I'd be morally obliged not to give any cent to them anymore.
Lucky for me there's an immense secondary market and lots of people are doing it already, so I'd be still able to play the game.

The secondary market encourages the primary market in a way so I believe that's kind of a invalid point, isn't it?

The secondary market offers me products by which WotC doesn't get any money.
Although it needs cards from the primary market, it doesn't necessarily cause sales in it.
But you're right in a way.
I guess it's more if the set is out of print that you can be sure not to financially help WotC anymore.

It's not a denomination thing, the bible does explicitly state sorcery as a sin and you're simulating the act of sinning in a game or media that has sorcery.
Yes, tolkien, but if you notice, none of the spells in LOTR come from innate magical powers and instead are caused by Eru Iluvatar, who's practically god.
Even Gandalf isn't a wizard in the sense that he sits on an ivory tower and discovers powers innate to all humans, he's an angelic being and a messenger of God himself.
That's the major difference between christianity and eastern religions, even bishop Fulton J. Sheen talks about this when he says that christians don't believe a man can "pull himself up by his own bootstraps".
All powers come from god, and if you discover in you the innate power to shoot lighting, it's the devil tricking you. A game where there's no singular monotheist deity and that encourages you to study occultism to learn the act of shooting lightling is unequivocally against christian teachings.

Its in the historic detail.
The Bible in hebrew calls magic that falls under maleficium(spells that harm and enslave humans) a sin, it dosn't outlaw magia naturalis(aka. natural wonders of the world that help people).
Majority of cultures that became Christians understood that, because that was also the way secular law worked in antiquity.
This understanding than was lost during the religious fanatism of the Reformation and the later Age of Enlightment, both seeking to reeducate the public.
Christians throughout history did a lot of things that in other religions and philosophies are seen as magic, they just called them wonders of the world created by god.
And instead of researching the "occult", christian scholars tried to become better by learing to understand all of "creation".

Yeah, except it wasnt. Why do people automatically assume that some part of the Catholic world represents all Christianity? In Byzantium institutions were sacralized rather than inbred individuals with super-special surname that originated with Merovingian Frankish retards.
And even in Catholic world Republics like Venice and Florence existed. Oldest continuous Republic, San Marino, started out as a Monastic Republic on Mount Titano.

"No"
Magic in traditional sense was gaining information from the demons and the dead mostly about future events, or hidden secrets and such. Not shooting lightning and such autism. In fact, the only people who ride fiery chariots and implied to have the ability to glass entire settlements are prophets and apostles. Pretty much what demons can do is LARP, create illusions or torment some poor guy who got possessed (except for Book of Job, but its not really clear on the details and if those disasters were caused directly or due to Tzeentchian shenanigans).
Plus considering that humans are made in Image and Likeness of God and are literally called gods in the Bible (Psalm 81(82):6 and John 10:34) there's no reason to NOT to have such "innate ability" in the first place.

Three years ago, my boomercuck dad told me that he was afraid of me and my sister bringing dnd dice into the house because, and I shit you not, "the lady at the game store was probably a witch and put a curse on them." Blew my mind that a grown adult with greying hair could be both so paranoid and out of touch with reality.
I'd also like to state for the record that Orthodox (Eastern) Christianity does not subscribe to the absolute nonsense that Western Christianity does, and is clearly Superior to both christcucks and larpagans. I even got my priest to play a game of Pathfinder once. He played a dwarf wizard. Good times.

The only people who are Orthodox are people who want to LARP as sixth century romano-greeks or literal Russians. There's a reason Eastern Christianity remains in the east and the lions share of missionary and global evangelist work in the 18th-20th centuries were all carried out by Protestants. When you marry your faith to your culture you are only able to spread your faith as far as you can spread your culture. Americans will never be Orthodox because our cultural disposition is incompatible with it's religious expression. We only ever started being Catholic when literally 3/4ths of Ireland and 1/5 of Italy decided they were going to colonize us and bring their romish popery with them.
If you actually are greek or russian though, carry on.

They only had newspapers which were browbeateb and paid by the state if not outright owned by jews.
Their foolish misguided "heroism" to defeat Hitler was the result of decades of behind the scenes orchestrating to get the West to take itself out. Ww1 became a good opportunity for it to come to fruition and it almost did take us out. But then Hitler rose and the NWO summoned all of its might to strike back against him snd unfortunately Americas longstanding isolationism and disdain for foreign goings on left us vulnerable to manipulation.

Are you? Not every nations orthodox churches are autocephalous and an intricate web of recognition and non-recognition of autonomy makes determining who is and is not a far from straightforward affair and even then autonomy and autocephaly are not the same thing and what influence a patriarchate might have over an archdiocese has to be looked at on a case by case basis. Even if I granted you that there are somewhere between 14-17, depending on whatever alleged autocephalic churches you did or did not count as per the above mentioned confusions, entirely independent patriarchates that did not answer to any other that's still 14-17 recognizable bodies that can be targeted. That's a hell of a lot better than Romes 1, but it's still not "I am spartacus"-tier.

No they don't. The oldest and most entrenched ones have gone that way but their numbers are collapsing and fast. Christians do not remain in those churches long, congregational churches are popping up all over the place and in the last ten years the Reformed tradition has exploded in influence across almost all sectors of Protestantism because while liberalism was able to spread in Episcopalianism/Anglicanism and Lutheranism it came only by way of completely abandoning the principles of the Reformation, particularly the doctrines of Grace and the recognition of the total supremacy of the scriptures over christian belief and practice. By abandoning the very things which defined Protestantism they doomed themselves. They had cultural momentum to carry them forward between the 60's and 90's but they're on their deathbed now and just like in 17th century England, when the establishment church went wayward separatist groups ascended to dominance and the Puritans seized the day to restore the truth of Christ's gospel to it's proper place.

This kid running away from home led to the initial moral panic. The hack gumshoe hired by his parents opined out of turn that he could have had a psychotic attack and disappeared into the steam tunnels while LARPing.
The press reported it as fact, and started the panic.
Later a hack writer made a novel based on the utter garbage made up out of whole cloth by the tabloid press, and an ambulance-chasing psychiatrist quoted her fictional novel as a real story.
Then they made a shitty TV movie of the week out of the novel, and it's been a persistent urban legend ever since, among morons too stupid to Google..
