Christians Don’t Hate Poker

From Chistianity Today:
I play poker with my friends once a week. I really enjoy the game, just like I enjoy soccer, basketball or football. I’m not addicted to gambling. It’s just a game I love and I’m good at. Sometimes we bet money and sometimes we don’t. But my mom and I have had several conversations about this and she’s uncomfortable with my gambling. Is it wrong to play poker at all?

Paul LaBrier added these pithy words on Mar 08 05 at 11:25 pmI happen to be a Christian who loves to play poker. I am sure that I am in the minority amonst my friends at church, but I am not letting that stop me. I do not see cards or poker as inherantly evil, but anyhting to excess is bad. I play in the Amatuer Poker League (APL) a couple times a month and on-line a couple times a week. I do not have a gambling problem but I am aware that it can be a concern. The APL is FREE and most of the time I play free online. I did deposit $25 almost a year ago at Paradise Poke and I am still playing off that “bankroll” I see poker as entertainment and it consumes less of our budget than my wife spends on scrapbooking.
