What does the Bible say about gambling?
#8
RE: What does the Bible say about gambling?
This is a very good and socially relevant question. I will admit that I had/have a gambling problem with Texas hold 'em poker and blackjack. I used to have to travel 3 hours to go to Atlantic City New Jersey, but now there is a casino only 20 minutes away which I can play cards at obsessively (if I choose to). I can also play online of course too. I am pretty good at poker but I don't know when to stop. I almost always leave empty handed. The Bible SHOULD say something about the dangers of gambling but it doesn't. The bible is very bad literature anyway, so who gives a shit right? I know that a deck af cards has alot of "satanic" symbolism and alot of history concerning witchcraft and puritanical hedonism, but whatever, it is probably just a game of chance and probabilty, not fate.
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.
