It is actually chaotic evil, originating in 53 BC from priestesses that worshipped Zorn the demon of the underworld. The chess board represents the realm of the underworld and the seven different types of chess pieces represent G-d, and are therefore an abomination because half of the 32 pieces on the board are black, representing the evil influence of Zorn. Jesus spoke about this, and warned us of the perils of playing chess. A zen master once told us to breathe and feel the flow of the pieces on the board. Finally, an old wise rabbi, engaged in a game of chess summed it up tidily: “Stop day dreaming and play. Oy! It’s your move! All this babbling about Zorn and G-d and zen and false things that no one in the Bible ever said. Just play!”

Please name all seven types of pieces.

Oh, absolutely! Chess is the epitome of evil. Those innocent-looking chessboards and pieces are actually cursed relics passed down from ancient occult societies. Every time you play a game, you unknowingly pledge your soul to the chess gods, who will then summon an army of possessed pawns to take over the world. It's all part of their diabolical plan, disguised as a harmless board game. Be very, very afraid.

I just did a little research on this subject as I'm a Christian but I have playing chess since I was 10. The game of chess is thought to have been invented hundreds of years after Jesus walked on earth as a human being - therefore, Jesus did not say anything about it, good or bad. I think playing chess depends on one's mindset. If one is caused to stumble and think evil thoughts by the act of playing chess, then they should definitely avoid chess. If one plays chess in order to improve one's memory and cognition, then it is permissible for that person. One person's opinion - that's all!

Very well said. I also am Pentecostal and read the bible almost regularly and have never come over a verse showing Jesus talking about chess. I personal play chess for fun and to improve memory.

Adversarial? Yes. Unless you mean something else by satanic.

Okay, so there's the Demon Cake:

This is a dense, heavily spiced, gingered cake, sweetened with dark, treacly molasses and apples. Not for the faint of heart.

Or the Devil's Food Cake:

Devil’s Food Cake is made with rich cocoa powder, tangy sour cream and fresh, bittersweet coffee. This fudge like chocolate cake takes dessert to a whole new level of decadent goodness!

So which one do you guys want?
