Khan is going to look much dumber on TV than some guy praying. 2+2 may be filled with atheists. But, most people believe in God and don't object to it being displayed.

Dynasty,

You really fail to understand how Yang's actions differ from how your standard god fearing folk prefer to worship.

[/ QUOTE ]

Athletes pray during their games all the time and most fans don't care. Yang will be the same.

I believe in God, yet I despise organised religion and cringeworthy overt displays of worship.

All,

It's good to see Khan taking advantage of this opportunity to tear down all those "gamers are dorks" stereotypes.

...you're leveling us...right?

I like how Yang is playing so well that he has tilted not only his table but also this forum.

Senor,

Dynasty does a good job with the 2+2 Internet Magazine forum.

For people watching this is it extremely choppy? Anything I can do to make it better? I have a pretty decent connection.

While praying at the poker table is very tacky, pretty rude, and very annoying, the overall disgust that most people show here for religion and religious people is pretty sad.

If this sort of disgust was expressed towards any other group (a racial/ethnic group, homosexuals, etc.) it would be seen as pretty darn biggoted.

And i haven't set foot in a church in probably 15+ years.

A) Religion is a choice, and racial or sexual orientation isn't

B) He can pray as much as he wants quietly to himself. Doing it out loud is just incredibly rude to the other person in the hand, and that is why we are attacking him.

[/ QUOTE ]
What about "One time" and "low cards" and "give me a spade" etc. Are those not prayers too?

Perhaps not to the Christian God but certainly to the Poker Gods, the deck, the dealer, Lady Luck. Why is one unacceptable while the other one is?

[PokeReader]

Most serious God fearing folks believe gambling is a sin, and would definitely believe asking for a 3 out suckout as a miracle because God has a purpose for you, would be blasphemy. But clearly these are his sincere beliefs, just should not be pushed on other players.

Completely smooth here on a cable connection, but I'm not sure how to improve your feed.
