Agreed <3 In life, we always have to have our eyes on the good, God, kindness, whatever you chose to call him <3 and there are many sinful things in this world. But like Ronald said, if it takes your virtue and goodness, then you should stop immediately <3
I never put money on poker. I just play these games, with my friends <3 that is how I draw the line. I think everyone should find what works for them <3 and Happy Easter, CC <3 God bless you and yours, and you too @G0930* Hahah <3 You are in his vision 😛 Boom!
*Val, you can yell at me in private 😛 lol

It depends how deep you want to go into it and your own personal beliefs I think.
It's a strategy game played for money. If it's an interest God gave you and you play responsibly I don't see too much harm.
And I don't really believe the "You're doing others harm when they not be able to control their vices" argument. It's not my responsibility to do so. The major sports leagues and teams sold out to sportsbooks and online casinos, When you start to see the millionaire role model athletes take pay cuts so they don't have to have these companies on their chest I'll consider dropping my hobby, but until then I have a cool hobby that pays cash and over the long run rewards hard work.
Most other people's hobbies involve them paying money to a company owned by Blackrock...
Funding evil is still evil.

Yes brother, humans are deeply flawed creatures.Flyer35 said:
Also anyone can claim to be a member of any religion, there isn't some divine right of passage you must achieve before your vocal chords grant you the ability to call yourself a Christian. This is why the actions of one person or organisation isn't reflective of the entire religion.
Also it's human nature to believe in something, in the absence of religion it's often the state.
Buy Canadian, Elbows up and all that.

Hello, everything must be directed to the Bible, the scriptures do not say that playing cards or poker is a sin, what it says:
The Bible does not specifically condemn gambling, or betting, or the lottery. The Bible, however, warns us to stay away from the love of money.
would be close to addiction of any kind, work, drinking, etc.

One thing we should be careful about with poker is the fact that it can be deluded by dreams, so if you really want something with poker, focus on the process and work.
''Certainly the game revolves around the love of money and undeniably tempts people with the promise of easy and quick wealth.''

The question in my mind is how is playing poker as an occupation any different from any other occupation? It's not. You study, you train, you practice, you earn, you pay taxes. It's identical to being a brain surgeon or a lawyer or an electrician.
It is so hard to know what is right or wrong. Don't beat yourself up trying to follow that last bit of perfection.
I know I wrestled with no matter what job or profession I chose, I wrestled with am I stealing from my fellow man. And when working for a corporation, am I helping corporations steal from my fellow man even faster.
