I think it is a sin if it absorbs all of your time or money but I want to hear all points of views. And if there are any Christians out there who have a bible scripture to back it up please post it here.

I don’t like the word sin at all, it has to much allegiance to religion in my opinion. All though in true context of the word providing you’re not gambling simply what you don’t have or can’t afford to loose then no, how can it be? One could argue religion is gambling.

Too much of anything is no good, moderation in anything is a good way to think. When is consumes a person and thats all they think, dream, and do. and It takes the place of time with God, family, friends, work, then yeah if it gets to that point.

I wonder about those Christians; especially the Catholics. Somewhere in the Bible there is a story about Jesus throwing the 'money changers' out of His Father's house. So, how is it not a sin? I have seen bingo halls in the basements of churches, Catholic churches, no less. Maybe you should post something about hipocracy.

I don't find gambling to be a sin. It can be a bad or dirty habit but not a sin.
