The only way I would give up poker is if religion offered me 72 virgins.

The poll options are too black and white. There should be a "add it to the long list of sins I already commit, whilst still believing in God, so why should I have to give up either one?" option.

If God spoke to me? I would strongly consider becoming religious. If he told me not to play poker, I would probably stop playing poker. Is there a trick here?

I guess since God just told me poker was a sin then I would be 100% sure there was God so I would be pretty stupid not to give up poker. If I understand this correctly?

Of course there is an off chance that I went schitzo and started hearing voices in which case I'd stop playing poker and miss out on all the fruits that come from that for the rest of my life.

IDK how poker could be a sin, at least in my little religious world which really isn't so religious.

If God spoke to me, I would think that I'm schizophrenic and still play poker without getting psychological help because I'm a degen.
