No offense but you're a kook. This was a good man that won money then says he'll do good things with it. The week before he won the lottery he saw a small boy on TV who when asked what he wanted for Christmas say he wished he had a bed to sleep in. This man sent the family a $10,000 check. He got paid back for his generosity. You're whining about it makes your religion look rather odd to normal folk...

Too bad isnt it?

what I see are a lot of freepers justifying poor behavior and the promise of easy riches, oblivious to the corrupting nature of wealth - If I am a kook - so be it - but personal attacks really dont buttress your position. Can you Scripturally justify the amassing of huge amounts of wealth ?

To be honest with you, if there were heaven and hell, I'd rather go to hell with this man than go to heaven with folk like you...

What's the significance of "pearley gates"? Isn't that wealth? Streets of gold?

What about the story of Job. Godly man who was rich, God stripped him of all he had, stood the test of his convictions to God, God gives him everything and MORE for his convictions.

Gods will - do you presume to argue with God ?

Tell how gambling on a game of chance is Gods will ? - what matters more, the $10 this guy would have tithed with a clean heart or the 17 million he tithes with dirty hands in hopes of clearing his conscience

I don't have a position. I'm just pointing out how evil you appear to the world.

But YOUR position is sort of funny actually. You are trashing this man, calling him a sinner, because he's giving money to the church to do good deeds. That's funny given that I'm sure your pastor begs for dollars with a collection plate every time they open the church doors.

And we all know God would have prefered that a real "sinner" had won this money and blew it on boats, houses, cars, women, and parties...

Some position you've got there Mr Bible...

How do you suppose the woman of ill-repute could afford that vial of expensive oil she lavished on Jesus' feet?

Yeah - maybe youre right - wanting to take away everybodys good times for fear of the endless torment theyll most certainly endure at the hands of the deceptive one -

Am i pompous? - 'probly - I'll give you that - Am i concerned about you and everyone here - honestly yes.

Am I demanding you dont flip coins or have a sip of wine now and then - no - but gambling is most definitely a vice - use extreme caution in letting sin get a foothold in your life -

Afraid to defend your position? Flag whoever you want. If you can't take the heat you better stop sinning about this man that won the lottery cause I hear it's hot as the dickins in hell...

Oh and don't forget to post that scripture that says it's a sin to judge others. You do want to be honest don't you? Nice Christian feller like yourself...
