Whether it's buying a lottery ticket or playing the numbers at a roulette table, every time a capsuleer gambles, a grievous sin is committed. "Surely not," someone responds, "I thought gambling was only a sin if you let it develop into a problem." Hardly! To say gambling is a sin only if it develops into a compulsion is like saying watching pornography is wrong only if it results in an addiction. Gambling is always sinful because it emanates from a spiritual motive God summarily rejects.

Omir Sarikusa tells about a farmer who one day reported to his wife with enthusiasm his best cow had given birth to two beautiful calves, one red and one white. He told his wife his intention was to dedicate one of the calves to the Lord. "When the time comes to sell them," he said, "we'll keep the proceeds that come from one calf and give the proceeds from the other to the Lord." "Which calf do you plan to give to the Lord?" the wife asked. "No need to decide now," said the farmer. "We'll treat them both the same and later sell them as I said." Several months later, the farmer entered the kitchen looking very sad. When the wife asked what was troubling him he said, "I have bad news. The Lord's calf is dead." "But you never decided which was to be the Lord's calf," his wife said. "Oh yes I did," he insisted. "I had always determined it was to be the white one — and it is the white calf that has died."

It is always the Lord's calf that dies — unless we are clear about the true nature of our possessions. Everything we own, not just a part of what we own, God provides to use for His purposes — the health and well being of our family and for the great task of promoting True Verities — not to throw down the rat hole of games of chance.

Been playing for about a day now and it's been pretty fun. Won a bunch of the smaller lotteries then lost out on the 1bil to a corp mate I got playing.

Simple and fast ISK gambling with the option to pull your money out any time, I just need to grind more ISK to play now. P

OP makes gambling site and this guy starts rambling about white cows and red bulls.

Just put down the keyboard and let the men in the white jackets take care of you before you hurt yourself.

But then I expect nothing more from a mewling supporter of the false Emperor

Im just saying, trying to start a religious discussion for the sole purpose of having a topic you dont like ISDd is kinda lame.

How much for 100kk ISK?

Do not assume anything above this line was typed by me. Nerf the Truth, it's inconvenient.
