Win or lose?
Does your religion say you shouldn't gamble?
Does it bother you if other people do?
I ask because I am Catholic- and my family goes to Caesars in Indiana to gamble together. We've also gone to Vegas, Tunica, Biloxi, etc. It's fun and we do it for the entertainment value. Anyway, I was gambling this past weekend (and I won) and we got to talking about religion and this guy next to me was saying it annoyed him how there was so much booze at the boat, he doesn't drink because he is Southern Baptist and it is against his religion- and I before I could think I popped out with
"Then what the hell are you doing here?" He looked stunned and I continued "You aren't supposed to gamble, are you? Well really!"
I MEAN POT=KETTLE WTF?
So it got me thinking about people gambling and others thoughts of it.
I never thought people would look at me and say "She's going to hell- she gambles!" BUt i guess there are people out there that believe that. It just never occured to me until last night.

I have never been to the gambling boats. I need to get out there!!!
Now, I'm kinda a southern Baptist - but not the crazy kind. Ya know? Like the group in whatever South Carolina that has built a Christ like city to filter out the gays, the other religions, and alcohol and such.
My churches have always been very Say it Proud and Loud, all gospel like. But....... its not like "if you smoke, you go to hell", "If you do this or that,you're going to hell".
IMHO - you should have said what you did. I mean, he's kinda forgetting what he's doing if he's stating it like that.
