How Does Your Religion Impact Your Gambling (side 2)

Thank you for answering the question. Agreed that gambling itself is not a sin ... but the Bible has many warnings about idolatry of money or being greedy. Peace be with you.

Part A:

Agnostic, I don’t really follow any specific religion but I respect all of them.

Part B:

Gambling for me is just a form of entertainment. I see it like watching sports or going to the movies — fun as long as you know your limits. I don’t feel guilty about it, but I also try not to gamble more than I can afford to lose. It’s all about balance and keeping it light.

Wow ... you have more self-control than a lot of people I see at the casinos ... perhaps because you do see it as entertainment that helps moderate things. Thanks for answering the question!

For et år siden blev det rapporteret, at:

Lederen af ​​den zimbabwiske apostolske sekt, Emmanuel Mutumwa, sagde: "De hævder, at fordi jeg er profet, modtager jeg visioner fra Gud om vindertal. De er bange for, at de vil gå konkurs, fordi jeg vil vinde for ofte."

Mutumwa tilføjede, at han brugte de 30.000 dollars i midler til at betale for uddannelse af nogle af sine kirkemedlemmer og til at skaffe startkapital til sin virksomhed. Han henvendte sig også til spillekritikere: " Gud arbejder på mystiske måder. Denne sejr var ikke held, men en prøve på tro. Jeg bad om vejledning, og Herren gav mig disse tal gennem en vision. Er det ikke en velsignelse at bruge disse gevinster til at opløfte mit samfund?"

This is magical thinking but not faith
