Jesus had nothing to say about gambling.  I devoted a page to this topic at http://www.cheapvideopoker.com/is-playi ... moral.html .
 
Man creates all kinds of problems for himself and organized religion is right at the top of the list.  At least 2/3rds of the problems in the world are caused by this kind of thinking.   If people would just read what Jesus actually said, they would be a lot better off.   Sorry for the rant...  I am not sure that ISIS, who currently just wants to behead people, cares about what Jesus said.

If it's not clear, I don't have a problem with Jesus, unless it affects others freedoms that he shouldn't affect (e.g. Georgia's Sunday liquor laws).

And as far as ISIS is concerned...it does affect others and I hope they get punished for it. Too bad we'll have to spend the money to do it.

Everyone has to make these decisions on their own.  There are some who believe their calling in life is to convert others to their way of thinking.   ISIS is a great example of this taken to extreme.  We even have preachers like Bill Maher for no God at all.  Whenever I hear someone on TV or Radio preaching about their religious beliefs or taking up some moral crusade, I always wonder what their true motive is?  Are they so unsure of their own beliefs that they need reassurance from others, or is it just for the money?   No one in history was more negative about public displays of religious piety than Jesus himself.  Anyway, if playing video poker is going to cause us to "Swim in the Lake of Fire!", I hope someone brings a lifeboat...
