Best Answer

The belief is that the game is incongruous with religious doctrine. This applies to many recreational games.

There are amusements, such as dancing, card playing, Chess, checkers, etc., which we cannot approve because Heaven condemns them. These amusements open the door for great evil. They are not beneficial in their tendency, but have an exciting influence, producing in some minds a passion for those plays which lead to gambling and dissipation. All such plays should be condemned by Christians, and something perfectly harmless should be substituted in their place.
