This is a subject I am somewhat familiar with. I never played dungeons and dragons, but i read books about dragons when I was younger. I saw the movie "Dragonheart" and it touched me deeply. I started reading books and watching movies about dragons.
Now here's the thing, I thought of dragons as good and as heroes. I mostly read fantasy novels where dragons were good guys and heroes. i even thought of myself as a dragon and wrote my own stories about dragons, dragon-human interaction, relationships, etc. So I came up with this story about when Lucifer started the war in heaven there were dragons in heaven who fought on God's side and fought the
evil dragons and angels who rebelled against God. God ordered the good dragons to go to earth and watch over people and protect them from Satan and the evil dragons. They were suppose to remain quiet and stay out of sight, not let people see them. unfortunately, the evil dragons did not stay out of sight, they blatantly and violently attacked people, and this is why people think all dragons are evil.
So I came up with ideas about good dragons, I was a sapphire and amethyst dragon, i had a dragon mother and father, brothers and sisters. grandparents, uncles aunts an cousins, we lived in these mountain caves like the Great Smoky Mountains or Appalachian Mountains, in crystal caves that were really beautiful because of the sparkling crystals on the walls. My dragon character's name was Seraphina Starfire, I got the 'Seraphina', from my own real name, Sarah, and from the word Seraph, a high ranking fiery angel mentioned briefly in the bible. I went to dragon websites, looked at pictures, read stories of their dragons, drew pictures of dragons, learned about different types of dragons.
But then I started to feel guilty. I come from a southern Baptist family and I had gotten saved but I was still into dragons. My conscience prickled and I felt like God was angry with me, or He was calling me back, did not want me to be involved with dragons. I do not like snakes, am scared I do not like alligators and crocodiles. I questioned whether dragons could truly be good. I knew they could only exist in alternate worlds. I was having some mental problems, and the dragons thing was hurting me, pulling me under. I had nightmares, frightening dreams. I read the Bible and got angry with God. There were so many questions if what I was doing was right. I was hurting myself. I realized the typical appearance of a dragon, like a dinosaur or big lizard with four legs and two batlike wings was the invention of fantasy media. In ancient times, dragons were just really huge snakes, like pythons or boas. I don't like snakes. So I stopped liking dragons, because most of the media involves magic, new age, witchcraft, paganism.
Jesus Christ saved me from dragons, He redeemed me and gave me back my humanity. I learned to love human beings, love myself. I got rid of the dragons.
dragon media is full of evil, witchcraft, magic, new age movement, paganism, Christian-hate, lust, porn, bondage, immorality. Don't get into it, it's best not to even start.
