Anyone that deeply Christian isn’t going to be playing cards. My grandmother isn’t exactly rabid and she won’t allow cards in her house.

There isn’t any New Testament command to perform an act like this beheading.

That's absolutely NOT true. There's a difference between playing cards and gambling! I know plenty of devout Christians that play cards but don't gamble.

No not true about cards, but anyone who’s a genuine Christian wouldn’t murder and decapitate a person in a fit of crazy.

 Growing up, conventional playing cards were banned in my home. We only used Rook. One only had to open up “Mormon Doctrine” to see why my parents banned the cards. It reads,

 

 “Members of the Church should not belong to bridge or other type of card clubs, and they should neither play cards nor have them in their homes. By cards is meant, of course, the spotted face cards used by gamblers. To the extent that church members play cards they are out of harmony with their inspired leaders. Innocent non-gambling games played with other types of cards, except for the waste of time in many instances, are not objectionable.”
