Re: Off to Cherokee
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 people would just read what Jesus actually said, they would be a lot better off. Sorry for the rant... 100% agree, and it is one of those things in this world that is self evident.....so many people make money off of representing themselves as "Christian", but of course, if you DO read what Jesus has to say, he predicted all this way back when he walked the earth. He said (and I am paraphrasing, not quoting, the New Testament) MANY will come in my name, many will SAY they follow me or love me, etc, but they are false. He specifically cautioned about "wolves in sheep's clothing" which was his warning that these False teachers and prophets will basically ROB the spiritually weak and thirsty blind by claiming to act and represent Christ.Read the Bible on your own, talk to God as you would a loving Grandfather-type figure, try to do what his son Jesus did and said to do when he was on earth, and you will be fine. You do not NEED to belong to any specific religion.....if you genuinely WANT to be part of a group then by all means, do so....

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...
