The religious guy on the panel says it's a danger to us all, go figure.

The panel was Jeffry Toobin legal analyst, Vince VanPatten and Barret Duke of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission

I wish these religious people would stay out of everyday life and let everyone live freely without giving there "Religious Opinions". Its not 100 AD , stop trying to control the masses with your unscientific bullshit

I love poker and I want it to be legal.

I also agree with the game of skill statement

However someone explain to me how a game of skill makes it legal? Can we wager on other games of skill? Ie if I made a website that rakes in cash checkers games is that legal?

The religious guy said " poker may have some skill but it is luck, just because you want an ace doesn't mean you'll get an ace."

just because you ask jesus for forgiveness or a better job or etc. etc. does not mean you will get it. tell him to go play with the easter bunny santa jesus and every other made up figure and leave the everyday real life situations to people with supposed freedoms. religious people really need to go find their own island and f--- off.

Mainstream religious people are the biggest jokes on the planet. Most of them don't even believe their own bullshit.

everyone hates the jesus freaks, until they need some $ donated to help their situation, or they are on their death bed. THAN, they are on the side of the jesus freaks.

I found the transcript for those who want to spend the time reading it. You have to scroll down to near the bottom to get to the poker discussion. http://edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1104/18/cnr.06.html

Here is the full quote from the religious guy on poker being skill or luck :

DUKE: Well, certainly, you know, it takes more skill to play poker than it does for instance to bet on a roulette wheel, but still, when you come down to it, you need luck to get the right cards, just because you want an ace does not mean you will get an ace. So there is some skill involved and it's still a game of chance.

really boat. my grandpa was catholic. dying in a nursing home. he was outside the city his church was in so had to send some stranger priest to talk to him. i could give 2 craps if church ever tries to help me. just because i study the book the complete adventures of curious goerge does not make me heal you or closer to god it just makes me an expert on that book.
