Slap them with a fake penis labeled "Holy dick" clearly on the front.

Pretty sure they don't have a way to counter that, because any possible label of "thing of the devil" just makes it funnier.

They are servants of God, headstrong and cocksure, ready to take the fight to all the unholy things in the world!

I wonder what they'd think about Dwarf Fortress. I'm pretty sure it'd make their heads explode.

I'd like to remind everyone that half of the time I don't even know what I'm talking about. The other half of the time I only sort of know what I'm talking about.

Specially if they find the "Goblins=4th iron ore" joke out of context in a random part of the internet.

They'll say you're making an unholy rite or something to turn flesh into metal, baby sacrifice may or may not figure in the mix.

Because dwarves are goddamned crazy.
So, basically, it is just a matter of luck whether you live or suffer horrible death... sounds like dwarf fortress.

You, uh, don't sacrifice babies? I thought you needed to do so to keep playing.

It could be that I just assumed that.

Well, the game does allow infant soldiers or Meat Shields as they are more commonly known.

Okay. So I did just automatically assume that baby sacrifices kept DF running. This probably gives some insight into my psyche, but I sure as hell don't know what.

You're not crazy. Everyone knows baby sacrifices improve your framerate.

Warning: incoming TVTropes link. Open the spoiler at your own risk.


Any game that circumvents, even temporarily, that trope is asking (sometimes literally *coughRockstar*) for media hype from overzealous parents and religious fundamentalists. Call it cheap advertising, to paraphrase Twain banning something just increases its popularity.
