18. Evil playing cards! OOHH!

Thu Feb 18, 2016, 05:37 PM

Feb 2016

I've heard of churches that thought playing cards was just as bad as dancing. I assume they were the really right wing bible bangers like Pentecostals. Makeup is bad, cutting your hair as a woman is bad (No way in hell I would go along with that, I have too much hair to deal with it long), long sleeves, long dresses, no slacks, all that unworkable stuff.

None of these people have read their Bible, specifically a couple of verses: "Judge not, lest ye be judged." and "As you did it unto them, so also you did it unto Me."
