The Bible does state that a man be foolish in being irresponsible with his money, and most anything called foolish in scriptures is sinful.
The bible says gamble away your entire existence, stake everything on hearsay of an unvarifiable promise of infinite reward without even the pretense of any shred of evidence to assess the odds, but only at the casino of named for one Jesus, and not anywhere else. Appearently no other casino is nearly croaked enough.
The promise is verifiable, the evidence is obvious, there is no gamble, the proof lies in the heart (soul) of those who wish to have the grace of God in their lives.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

If it were verifiable you would not need faith, if the evidence were obvious you might actually be able to point to some that existed, and if we're going by what lies in the heart or soul of christians, well, pedophile pastors, remember?
