    I can spit farther than a tall building, and faster than a speeding bullet. :D

    Are Playing Cards Evil ???

    Would you like to answer my other questions, or are you purposefully evading them?

    Are Playing Cards Evil ???

    Maybe because you're busy enabling their behavior instead of helping them get help? What are the manufacturers of these products doing wrong, exactly? I'm personally interested in this since my husband works in the beer and liquor industry. I'm very curious as to what it is he's doing wrong...

    Are Playing Cards Evil ???

    If it did, watching the fishing network would be a one way ticket to hell! :D

    Are Playing Cards Evil ???

    Are they evil for what they're used for in the magic industry? Or in the old ladies church group game industry? Dice are associated with gambling too. Does that mean that every kid who plays a board game with dice is actually playing with evil and risking developing a gambling addiction? Yes...

    Church Will Not Hold Gay Service

    Indeed. I wouldn't want to have a funeral for a gay family member anywhere near any church. The potential for bigotry is too great, not to mention that to me it would seem to be like spitting on the persons grave even before they were buried.

    Church Will Not Hold Gay Service

    Why didn't the church and the family agree on the details before they agreed to do the funeral?

    Are Playing Cards Evil ???

    How do you figure? The people who make the product aren't responsible for the personal choices made by other people. Your managers that were addicted to gambling, it was their own fault for doing so, and not getting help (and, frankly it's partially your fault for covering for him and not...

    Are Playing Cards Evil ???

    If you're busy telling people that they're doing something evil simply because you personally had bad experiences with it, then it's no wonder. I think this is the point where you need to start looking beyond your front porch, and consider that not everyone in the world has the same experiences...

    Are Playing Cards Evil ???

    So, if my husband does a card trick for me, should I be worried that the evil in the cards will force him to start playing online poker and never want to take me out to dinner? I'm sorry, but you're going to have to explain to me how exactly playing cards psychologically make everyone want to...

    Are Playing Cards Evil ???

    In your mind maybe. When I see a pack of playing cards, I think of magic. I must have 50 decks laying about the house since my husband is a magician. Neither of us even play cards. Not everyone associates cards with gambling, and not everyone who plays card games is in mortal peril. Maybe if...

    Are Playing Cards Evil ???

    So, how exactly is it the cards fault? Did the cards somehow magically force him to be addicted to gambling? Does everyone who plays poker, solitaire, bridge, rummy, go fish etc etc get addicted to gambling? Does the gambling industry somehow psychologically force people to gamble when they buy...

    Are Playing Cards Evil ???

    Just because you personally don't have the ability to handle something doesn't mean it's "evil". For you, the temptation to do something bad with playing cards may be so great that you personally are forced to avoid them, but there's nothing evil about the cards themselves. They're little...

    Critics of atheism please come forward.

    True, but people always find something to kill each other over. Communist countries where atheism is the law, like in China, doesn't seem like that much of a step up. Maybe a half-step.

    Bumping up, in lieu of the promotion. Some things have changed also, as I've since found an actual religious direction, as opposed to free-floating. And, the thread is still open to questions. :D

    Are Playing Cards Evil ???

    Gambling is bad for you. Obsessing over something so that it overruns your life is bad for you. Small pieces of paper with pictures on them are not infused with supernatural evil. Unless you actually infuse them yourself.

    Tarot Study: The Magician

    I'm very sorry that I slacked on this one. Here's some of my own observations and a "book" definition of the card. I have heard the magician described in as a lightning rod. A lightning rod receives large volts of energy from the heavens and grounds them. This is what the magician does. He...
