It’s not stopping traffic, but a billboard in Charleston is arguably creating conversation.
It's a message said to be from God, asking voters in Kanawha County to say "no" to table games on August 11.
That's when voters will cast their ballots in what some are clearly making a religious race. According to Kanawha Valley Advertising, this billboard was paid by a private investor.

Gambling is a sin, but for some reason everyone is forgetting that. You can say it is ok to gamble,but you know that it is wrong. Just because something is legal does not make it right.
