I laughed so long at the following 7/12/23 Letter to the Athens News that now I’m not sure if it’s serious or funny. Again, I won’t mention the author’s name but it was in the Athens News this week along with six other responses to last week’s Athens News letter  (one of which was mine).  The letter I took or mistook for comic is the following:

READER GLAD LIBRARIES, SCHOOLS CALLED OUT

To the Editor:

I’m glad people are finally calling out the libraries and schools for their obvious liberal socialist agenda. I, for one, was shocked to learn that the libraries hold weekly Dungeons and Dragons meetings for kids. What other anti-religious  meetings are they allowing to happen to try to turn our kids against God and his word? Why are they holding meetings like Dungeons and Dragons with their focus on demons and witchcraft, that are known to be harmful to children?  This indoctrination of our kids must stop! County residents concerned about their children  should  show up at the next library board meeting and school board meetings to demand answers to why our taxpayer money is being used for an anti-family agenda and to promote anti-religion to our kids. I also encourage churches in the area to pray for the libraries so that they may be shown the light.

At least the above did not end with the word Amen.  I think my laughter was because decades ago when I played Dungeons and Dragons it never occurred to me that it had anything to do with religion.   If this is legit, then we should bar many fairy tales and any information on the Greek gods and goddesses.
