The bible says lots of things are bad including homosexuality but there are plenty of gay christians today. There are probably evangelists in the US who want him to be burned alive but the majority of christians seem to be getting more and more liberal. Religions have to change if they are going to survive. They've been bending their own rules for ages.

lol, so he WAS gambling then. SINNER !! SINNER!
In other news, in the pub poker circle I used to play in for a couple years, there was a priest who always showed up (although, strictly speaking, that really wasn't gambling as it was free to enter-technically anyway). Priest was often a bit flustered with the sorta chat that goes on at poker tables (in pubs anyway)
I just think it's a bit silly to literally preach one thing and do another.

The expression "Thank God" has just won a new meaning to this priest. If poker is not illegal in his state, so it isnt illegal to play it and even less illegal to win money playing it. Aleluia, i still believe He looks for all of us!
what's next?
grats to him
