Nonetheless, you will hear anecdotes and venting of spleen about the 'evils' of Magic . I find this a bit annoying, because these peoples' energies could be a lot more efficiently devoted elsewhere. But they're entitled to their opinions. I make this long-winded rant because I am a Christian who takes my faith seriously and also has no problem relaxing with a good game of Magic , and i don't want to be identified with some of the rhetoric used against it in the name of Christianity. Some people take Magic too seriously.
Some people take about anything too seriously.
It's the obsession that's the problem, not the game. Those who argue against it are well-intentioned, and someone who's susceptible to getting involved too heavily in magical arts and the like should probably stay away. And a fun one too.
