LOL!<br /><br />I was under the impression that this scene was what the gamblers endure in Hell. I've never thought of backgammon as a gambling game.

While many christians still hold to that kind of vision of Hell, I doubt that it can be backed up by scripture.Robert Madewellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237253238274655114noreply@blogger.com
