"Last year, I played online poker."

= Self-reported behavior, specifically online gambling.

Yes, I played online poker. And that's wrong because what? Because you say so? Please, feel free to tell me what exactly is immoral about gambling. You can't. If someone does it to an extreme, yes, there is a problem, but if someone drinks too much water, it can kill them too. So, what is wrong with playing a game for fun? My average cost was about what I'd spent for a taking my kids to the movies regularly. They didn't like going out all that much to the theater, and prefer to watch the DVD's at home. So, I got some of their favorite movies and we cut back our movie-going experience. And I'm some sort of scum because I had the audacity to violate your precious beliefs? Because I spent money that was in my entertainment budget, and wsan't taking food from my children's mouths. So, what EXACTLY did I do wrong?

Your self-reported behavior includes going against the teachings in John 8:7 - "So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."
