You're talking about Cleromancy - this in it's religious context was not gambling.

In context, casting lots was invoked as a legitimate means of determining God's wishes. This wasn't holy land lotto.

Why not? There's nothing in the bible against gambling.

Your statement would be correct if you consider the Roman soldiers that crucified Jesus to be "Christians"

I'd ask that people try to focus on the original topic and when straying off, work on respecting other posters in your responses.

Berge,
Any sage advice or insight for those of us hoping that Barnie throws a Hail Mary for us inside that dome? Are you or Mr. K hearing anything from staffers on this? Thx.

They've been pretty focused on other things as they roll out their agenda. I haven't heard mention of it yet, but I keep putting feelers out.

Hopefully D'amato will commit soon. I'd imagine that will significantly help our lobbying effort altho his connections are on the wrong side of the aisle for this house. Thanks Berge.
