Hey, if I didn't have faith I'd be living life as if this was all the time I had.
Have y'all noticed something about this board lately?

Just left vegas. Great time, always is. Finished down some on this trip, but not bad for all the entertainment. Had a good last morning that helped us mostly recover.
Lost Wages, NV is a place I've only been once. Just the airport with a 1 hour layover until my next flight went out. No desire to ever be there again....
Crime and decadence seem to go hand and hand with gambling. It certainly seems to have all of the hallmarks of sin.
If God truly leads you to believe that gambling isn't a sin and your being faithful to His guidance then you're right.
God seems OK to me on Bingo and Casino night at Catholic fairs….. I was doing Gods work dealing Blackjack Friday night. And He seemed to support my efforts in “tithing” our patrons pockets, as I cleared the felt several times hitting BJ.
All I can say is that we have a casino in our county and one just outside of it and they are absolute magnets for crime and criminals in general.
Charitable gaming (raffle fundraisers, etc) is one thing, casino gambling is another.
I’ve been a member of a Conservation Club (hunting fishing etc) since 2009. About 8 years or so ago, our club treasurer blew $38,000 of the club’s money at the local casino. It obviously put us in a severe financial crunch.
The guy ended doing about six months in the county jail. Luckily our club had an insurance policy for this sort of malfeasance. Between the insurance and his extended family reimbursing the club we eventually got our money back.
When I lived in Louisiana, a popular mom and pop diner I would go to for lunch closed suddenly. Turns out the wife gambled all their money away at the riverboats.
In Baton Rouge back in the 90s, there was a story of a cop who accumulated huge gambling debts and robbed a bank out of desperation.
I understand the lure of making lots of money quickly, but casino gambling is a losing proposition. I’ve done it a few times myself, and maybe once came out ahead.

There is one fail safe way to win, but it requires discipline and deep deep pockets. And when a casino sees what you are doing, they'll kick you out unless you are just being a nuisance for chump change. It's all premised on doubling down on losses and then returning to your original bet once you win and clear the slate.
I ain’t saying gambling can’t be a problem….. but gambling, alcohol, food, computer games, TV, even work are all good and fun activities - it’s taking something to excess to an addictive condition where one chooses the behavior over their own good
Yeah, and the catlicks are okay with dog-pokers and their ped-priests and their preg-nun orphanages too, as long as their Pope clears them of any and all Earthly wrong-doings....
Proverbs 22:16 States who legalize lotteries and gambling are oppressing the poor for gain.
Is Gambling A Sin? Deuteronomy 8:18. Ecclesiastes 5:10. This too is meaningless.
Ephesians 4:28. Exodus 20:17. Hebrews 13:5. Luke 12:15. 1 Peter 4:10. Luke 16:13. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. Mark 8:36. Matthew 6:24. ...
Rom 3:23 -- For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God, but some seem to miss the boat a bit more than others....
Is this translation of Proverbs from the Authorized Insta Extra-Terrestrial Version of the Bible?
Sorry you had that experience, but I an't no catlick.
I confess my sins and ask for forgiveness directly from God, not through some pedo-Priest...
Agree but organized gambling, meaning not charity bingo or VFW poker, brings in an element. On the upside, it's like shooting fish in a barrel because the turds congregate.
So, the catlick dogpoker thinks a little bit is okay.
A little bit of stealing, for anything you call a good cause.
Like voting for the Socialist Brandon Rat one time?
Is a little bit of rape okay?
How about just one murder?
Conditional morality in action it seems to me, with a ready excuse at hand....
It doesn't prey on everyone the same way but it certainly has the capacity to destroy some people.
Insta never disappoints....like his respect for other religions
😂 🤣 😂
Now that is truly rich,,,, the whiny dogpoker telling anyone about being respectful....
I think that I'm beginning to identity with ole Walter, so take it or leave it (ignore).
