As some of you may be aware from 6pm tonight to 7pm tomorrow it is Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) - the holiest day in the Jewish Calendar.  Put simply it is a day where you fast for 25 hrs (nothing allowed not even water) and you should not do anything such as drive, watch TV etc, turn on lights, shave, write etc etc (nothing which involves working, or using energy etc).  You are meant to use this day for repenting all your sins over the previous year since the last Yom Kippur, and should either be in synangogue praying or at home quietly contemplating.

Obviously there are various stages of how orthodox one is and whilst i wont drive, and will certainly be fasting, i will watch tv and do some of the lesser like use the computer.  This is fairly common of the majority of jews in the UK, who are only fairly observant at best.  In fact i am probably more observant than most.

However, it is now 11.30pm and i am itching to play a quick SNG online.  I have to date resisted as I think him up above will probably view gambling as quite a bad vice in the scheme of things.

Do i really have to wait till tomorrow evening or do you think he wont mind me sneaking in a quick game and it wont affect all my repenting etc.

Its a very interesting point Mr X but one I lack enough knowledge in to offer good advice but as with other things that we do that maybe we shouldnt it would depend on your mental approach to dealing with playing poker over your religious beliefs.

Personally I am not observant.

But I am comfortable with that.

I believe each individual should live according to the principles that he/she  is most comfortable with.

I wish you well over the fast.

To allow threads on religion is dangerous precedent.

I personally think religion and politics are two subjects that should be off-limits on this board.

Of course not.

I agree, it's fine. I'm no church goer but respect those who do. Wouldn't want to see intolerance creep in though or pushing.
