@Banana Breath,
I am just arguing that every argument that you and others are making against gambling can also be made against people going to church.
People get sucked in, they lose their money, and they are never as happy as they were promised, they are motivated by a promise of great reward that isn't real.
Whether it be church, or the casino, it seem to me that people should be allowed to choose for themselves what they think will satisfy them.
