gambling is entertianment you idiot.  Betting $50 on a game is entertaining not stealing.  Win or lose its the price of entertainment. 
 
If you want to talk about stealing best example is charging $50 ppv for professional boxing nowadays. Thats the definition of stealing.

I can't specifically find anything about gambling in the book.

but I can find a shit load of examples as to why Stealing is wrong.

 

and if you think about what gambling really is, it's stealing and I dare you to prove me otherwise.

If you are willing to risk giving someone else any type of your personal belongings based on the outcome of an event(Unless that event is fixed in favor of the other person without you knowing?), how is that stealing?
 
Now if you Steal money from someone to use for gambling, well...

No stealing is when they pass that plate around at church and you take more than you need.

I dare you to prove it is stealing. You say it is stealing so it must be true and everyone else must prove you wrong?

Ya and if a religion says its bad it must be. You know, the same religion that says theres a god, and angels , and this andthat, blah blah blah. Hilarious how people can NOT believe in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy, yet believe in their religion. Exact same thing, all made up

Anything that involves taking a chance is gambling.
 
For example, after a Sunday mass, a Priest asks an altar boy to come in an hour earlier than the other Altar Boys for the next Sunday's morning mass. That Altar Boy would be taking a chance by doing that.
 
Religion itself is a gamble.

"I can't specifically find anything about gambling in the book."

Well, that certainly clears that up. I guess we all know where the Dingle is-between your ears.

What you probably want to cry about is "money is the root of all Evil" - a classic that gets tossed at a lot of us degenerate gambling types.

Upon further review, if you read the fine print, "the LOVE of money is the root of all evil" not just money by itself.

Gambling is stealing? WRONG. Somebody wins, somebody loses. People know they can win, people know they can lose.

David vs. Goliath-is that a gamble for David, or stealing?

Lot's wife vs. Turning Into A Pillar Of Salt-did she take a gamble looking back when told not to, or was she stealing?

I could go on, but your the Biblical scholar that can't find anything about gambling.

And remember, when you drop your hard earned money into the collection plate, maybe then you'll know what stealing is..........

The responses were almost completely useless, mostly thanks to the genius called crowkillers


At least now I know why they were useless.


Do you all even believe that Gambling is wrong?

forget about religion for a moment and use your own judgment,

Is gambling good thing to do or a bad thing to do?

I don't believe gambling is wrong because I wouldn't do anything that is wrong.

Gambling must be good becasue I wouldn't do anything that is bad.

-LOL.. good start by assuming my intentions and acting upon your fairy-tale thoughts.

-Catchy quote, do you even know what it means?

David vs. Goliath-is that a gamble for David, or stealing?
-Gambling is stealing so if it's one it would have to be both.

The winner of the battle steals the other mans life
With both parties knowing the risk-reward of their decision
The winner will have a legacy to last till the end of time

-I like the question you raise, but I was referring to material possession gambling


Lot's wife vs. Turning Into A Pillar Of Salt-did she take a gamble looking back when told not to, or was she stealing?
