In the old testament the Isrealites were told to pick lots for land. Somewhere in the scheme of things God gave man the knowledge to come up with the idea of the lottery.

Because gambling encourages the getting something for nothing philosophy, it also encourages laziness and indolence. Men and women who set out on a career of gambling shun honest labor and become parasites. States and cities where gambling is legalized and a big business become mere parasites living off the productive labor of others. Such statements as Paul made in II Thessalonians 3:10,11, certainly conflict with the gambler's ideal of living. (www.Bbible/B.ca/s-Bgambling/B. htm)I don't w... [ More ]
