I made my own opinion about this 😅
When I stopped playing poker, was because I wanted to concentrate on my studies, but also I started participating on a church. No one told me I can't play, is just something that I think it was correct.
I even was a missionary (for two years in Chile, a great experience btw).

If I want to follow my religion "rules" or advices, I shouldn't play. Religion recommend to stay away of games of chances.
I think is because of the possibility of develope addictive and obsessive behaviors.

Personally, I think that you can see poker as an entertainment. In that case is like paying for going to the movies, to a club, or whatever you like, al least if is under your control.

Also, is a very strategic game. There's truly a chance of study it and improve your game, not like playing roulette or slot machines. So in that case, is like a sport.
Is like paying to participate in a tennis or soccer event or something like that. No one would judge a soccer player if he wants to play a tournament with some friends for the chance of getting a prize or something. No one would judge tennis pro players if they pay the entry to a master event and win money if they reach the final.

So that perspective at least makes me feel ok with it, and don't feel that I'm a bad person or Christian if I play.
