I just read this article from the AP and I frustrated. Here is the passage that really struck me.
"But Roberta Combs, president of the Christian Coalition of America, which opposes online gambling, was not moved by any of that.
"We still don't support it," she said in a telephone interview. "When you start gambling on the Internet, it's just too accessible. You can do it from home, and it's so much easier. We just feel like that's an issue that has a tendency to break up the family"
I am a Christian woman that happens to play poker and I am disheartened by her statements. Does my playing poker make my relationship with God any less meaningful? My poker playing is going to destroy my family and break up our home? It really bothers me when religious groups use God's name in vein. I was raised to believe God is tolerant and unjudgemental. I was also brought up to believe that God would judge me and my actions on the day of judgement. So Roberta Combs allow God to judge me and I respectfully ask that you focus on God's work and not your self-righteous missions.
