Who is winning the war between good and evil? - Page 2 - Religion, God, and Theology

The hand goes like this:

Good is in the button with 8h9h, making a standard 3BB raise.
Evil, just calls from BB with 33.
Flop: ThJhQh
Good overbets to disguise the monster, Evil takes the bait and bluff bets a commiting amount. Good shoves the rest of the stack, Evil makes a pot odds call.
Turn: Kh
River Ah

SPLIT!

Meh...

Good has 77
Evil has 66

Flop is 2AK

Good bets about 1/10 of the effective stacks, evil calls to steal on the turn

Turn is a 6....(or should I say 6th street)

Good shoves, evil snap-calls. Cards turned over now, Evil smiles widely and Good gives a smirk and a wink. Dealer taps the table, burns one, and...

River is a 7 (from heaven)

Evil starts raging about bad luck and what a idiot Good was to shove there

After a few moments, Good says, "Ain't omniscience great?"

Cause then they wouldn't have power. Lol at you thinking Israeli state means anything, its a tiny provenance that will mean essentially nothing in the long run, as religion fades like a bad memory from this species over the next few generations. Basically its a US base for us to control things over there and control oil. There will be no world war and no Nicolae Carpathia. No new world order; no people disappearing from the face of earth being raptured, rofl. I honestly can't believe what some of you people believe, no offense.

Oh btw who said anything about using nuclear weapons in this thread?

Why are you extrapolating that?

Besides doesn't he know God has the last word on everything? He spoke the world into being with a lot more than hot air.

As long as you realize that a single, homogenous group has unwavering control over government and society, you're on the right track.

Ignorance is better for your happiness quotient. It's the easy way out, kind of like atheism.

Yeah, who needs eternal bliss when you can go the easy route and opt for a brief, frequently painful existence with nothing afterwards?

WTF? DEATH is the downside, dude. Death. YOU have no worries, because you believe that you are briefly suffering a human life in order to gain eternal bliss.
