Telling the truth
By the way I'm a 16 year old girl.
Well I have a friend named Adam who is really big into Dungeons and Dragons and well he wants me to join his D&D group. I don't want to join because it kind of goes a little bit against my religion and it is filled with all sorts of dark imagery that I would prefer not to get involved with. I know that I have to tell him but I think that if I straight up tell him that I don't want to participate then he'll get mad at me. I'm a bit confused. He's a great friend except for when it comes to just begging me and telling me that he'll do almost anything to get me to join.

Don't sacrifice yourself or your beliefs for anyone. Ever. Tell him that it goes against your religion, all the dark imagery, etc and if he doesn't understand then he really isn't worth being friends with if he doesn't take your wants and beliefs into consideration.

You shouldn't have to give a detailed reason about why you don't want to play D&D. The fact that it's D&D should be enough... I don't blame you for not wanting to do it, actually. As I don't have a religion, I don't have to worry about it offending me in that kind of way... but if I were you, I'd tell him that you aren't interested in playing roleplaying games because it's not really your thing. Just tell him that you're not going to tolerate his childish behavior anymore and that if he continues to bother you about it, that you won't hang out with him at all... That should work.

Well just to let you know hopes this helps a bit, Im a very strong christain. But I've been playing dungeons and dragons for quite some time. The main reason is because to have a fun get together with my friends. Some of the concepts in the game are dark, but the game is based on how you want it to be.

You tell him the truth.
Explain why and let him know you have nothing against his playing it, you just aren't going to participate.
He needs to grow up and learn that you won't always like the same things. The grown up part is not to get mad about it or continue to beg you to participate. :)
