Ok so all my life i have been taught that a christian is not supposed to play the lottery. I have read the entire Bible from cover to cover and there is not one mention of gambling. I dont play the lottery because i am too tight with my money, however if i were to do so, i would have this to say. Dont judge me for buying a lotto ticket and I wont judge you for buying that pair of shoes when you already have 20 pairs of shoes in the closet. Dont judge me for playing a slot machine and i wont judge you for going to that expensive restaurant when you could have stayed home and ate a sandwhich.....just sayin

Just sayin because what someone does is wrong justifies a 2nd wrong? I don't think so. Gambling is essentially telling God that he is not in control so you will trust in chance+ you instead. Also take it from an ex-gambler (some 40+ years ago), the lotto's odds are terrible, one is better off at something as poor as roulette.
Stock market? Yikes, I no longer even have the nerve for that but it passes as a legit form of investment.
