I'm sure there's great comedy potential in hijacking this thread: http://www.hopenet.net.ph/forum/view...296fb6e84cc8aa

And if that game takes too much of your time, too much that it robs your time from important activites such as prayer... I think it is unhealthy already.

Are they nuts? If anything, poker makes us all pray even more! Heck, it even makes atheists pray ALL THE TIME.

That Christian is no different to a Christian who goes clubbing, believing he can protect himself from ending up in a clubber's bedroom.

*shudder*
I'm reading further down this thread and cults just simply creep me out.

Then with their crazy rituals and capitalized pronouns!

Not really because he is putting himself into a test, believing that he has the strength to fight the temptation and not fall into it. This is dangerous, as we don't have the strength to fight the evil one. Only God has such strength, and we should not rely on our strength, but only on His strength for our part in the spiritual fight against the evil one. And we must rely on God's protection from temptation.

I wonder if someone should tell him that according to the bible, he is now married to the person he just had coitus with.
