I have a deck of Tarot cards in a drawer in my bedroom.
And the coolest deck of regular cards.

Jesus F Christ! Are you all insane? Not one person realised it's true. There's referencing and there's Referencing and when...

...it's time to belt up and take heed.Men who know tell me this is true, the cards have a secret language.

Re: cards are the work of the devil!
I love the assumption made in the article's first paragraph that cards will take people away from loving J Zuss... I frigging did not need those to come up with the conclusion that the chretin dog was the meanest bastard in creation if it existed in the first place... hard to love a concept like that.
BTW, is there any prescriptions about playing games and/or gambling in the bible? 'cause the only mention I can remember is dicing for Jesus' stuff, and that was an observation, not a judgment or prescription.
Oh, and cards being invented by Charles VI, the mad king, is pure fabrication, of course, they had been known in Italy for close to a century or two by the time he reigned, the concept brought from the East by crusaders.
And where did that moron get the crummy chretious symbolism from? It sure is the first time I hear about it, and I've never heard that the Catholic church condemned cards as blasphemous, even though it used to frown on gambling, so that fabrication must be a prod invention.

In the interim, I will enjoy my poker and my fornication and my beer.
