Inappropriate Remarks at the Poker Table
Bellagio 30-60 game. A regular player gets up to leave and says "Good luck all, hope you get even today. Remember the important thing "Jesus loves you".
Considering that there were 'mixed" religions at the table, I think this remark was highly inappropriate. I also think that poker and religion mix about as well as oil and water. Thoughts?

Re: Inappropriate Remarks at the Poker Table
From that players perspective I am sure it was quite appropriate. Heck I don't believe any Gods or Jesus exist but I would not be offended by someone wishing me well. Just another PC correct concern which is a waste of brain cells.

Re: Inappropriate Remarks at the Poker Table
Babe,
I'm glad to hear Vince has got religion. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I just count Jesus among the the rather large group of those who love me--wife, mother and father, children, friends and family, dog, Dali Lama, tax collector, book reps, they all love me. But, ya know, only Jesus saves, Jesus saves, Jesus saves--S&H Green Stamps, as the old line goes. John

I don't see why that would really hurt anyone's feelings. Maybe the ultra sensitive, or a player with hobbies like crashing planes and cutting in god we trust from his winnings.

Re: Inappropriate Remarks at the Poker Table
I think they mix more like fire and gasoline.
I used to talk to this one guy a lot about religions and their effect on society. We were friends, but I was agnostic and he's a catholic school teacher. Still, it was fascinating to talk to this guy. However, we always sat on the ends and kept our religious conversations very quiet so as not to stir up controversy. Such discussions are only trouble and can mess up an otherwise good game. al

Jesus told me he loved me, and again the next morning, but he still hasn't called.
