...having sex before marriage is somehow "immoral."

Uh, if you're Catholic (as I believe Mr.Bennett is) it is.

I am curious. Is there a biblical prohibition on gambling or sex before marriage? I know adultery is prohibited by the commandment but is there a specific reference to gambling or sex outside of marriage? I always thought gambling was frowned upon because the soldiers gambled for Jesus' coat but it was not specifically prohibited.

As far as Bennet's gambling. I can understand modest gambling for innocent entertainment but significant regular legal gambling is unseemly. If he plays the mortgage money its another thing. I will give him the benefit of the doubt until he talks about it.
