Default Re: November 14th: House Judiciary Committee Hearing Thread

FoF can make a Biblical case against gambling by using a definition that incorporates attributes associated with the sins of Greed or Coveteousness. Casting lots is a red herring. Do we really want to try and argue that playing poker is the same as rolling some bones or flipping a roman coin?

Bottom line is we aren't going to convince most politicians to change their views by making a Biblical argument that God is 'neutral' regarding gambling. For the politicians that can be swayed, I doubt they would take our word over Dobson's.

No the real point is that no single argument is going to win the day for us. Neither is any single method of action all gain from the synergy of all the others. A single tide to some degree raises all boats, well exect for those full of holes which are already sunk and thus are the only objects that in effect get "deeper", but only in relative terms if you can't breath underwater.
