Is this Wrong?

[VaultedTreehouse]

For Easter I told my mom I'd give her a $50 show bet on one of the big races for today. I let her pick by the names and any winnings were hers. She ended up winning with Limehouse, so she'll collect. But am I going to hell for this?

 

[wilheim]

Of course not. Pay her off and sit back and enjoy the look on her face, guaranteed she will be happy.


wil.

No way you go to hell for this. Give her the dough and you have made her smile. If you go to hell for that, then you will have alot of friends there.

Does the bible say anything about gambling? i mean shit, just look how many churches run bingo nights.

I guarantee the bible says alot about gambling. Depending on who you ask

A more appropriate gift would have been to set a Totals line for "Passion Of The Christ" box office receipts this weekend and let her choose either one.

Any good Christian would lean to the Over, so if you shade the line up a bit, you might have even got paid!

Now THAT would put you in hell fo sho.

I'm sure the bible also says something about sexually molesting choir boys....but we all know how that turned out.

Treehouse:

Lay off the guilt. Do what you feel confortable with. Religion (any religion) has always had a vested political interest.

Now, what you should ask yourself if you're concerned with this question is: How's my relationship with God.

And that's about it. You're free to do with your life as you wish.
