God Does Not Play Dice With The Universe...

So said Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955).

But it seems God's son might, at least in Ireland.

The boookmaker, Paddy Power, has created a poster that Father Michael MacGreil, the priest at St. Francis Xavier's Church in Dublin calls "grossly inappropriate and vulgar."

The advertisement is a recreation of da Vinci's Last Supper, which shows Jesus with a stack of poker chips, Judas with 30 pieces of silver and the apostles holding playing cards and playing roulette. The tag line is : There's A Place For Fun and Games.
