Re: God's judgment
Always the response to these judgments should be repentance and drawing closer to God. How many do that?
Just for sake of curiosity, what happens when we approach the point of being as close to GOD as possible, and those things like hurricane devastation, people running into buildings etc. still occur? Honestly what do you say if it were to still happen?

Re: God's judgment
There is only one state that legalizes gambling and that is Nevada. E-gambling does not count because that would be considered international gambling. And Indian casinos don't count because indians are on their own territory.
And i'm not terribly sure abortion could be considered killing something. Physically the time frames at which abortion is legal, the thing (i don't know the technical term), if removed from the body the cells cease to function, in other words its totally dependant upon the woman. How is it then any difference from removing a cancerous tumor?
The thing is not even capable of self sustainable breath. Arguably given a few more weeks in the oven it does become a human. Possibly slightly inflammtory the abortion portion if it is am sorry.
Also secondary question completely unrealted why don't you ever pop up in the chat room?
Edited by Discreet Label, : Forgot a negative.
Edited by Discreet Label, : Added the abortion bit.

Re: God's judgment
Lotteries are actually a useful bit, I'm not 100% sure but i think all the money generated by the state lotto, at least in california, strictly goes into paying for education.
in edit:
(at least in this context its taking money from people that don't understand the odds of the lotto and then generating a situation that people could begin to understand the lotto vs this actually benefiting a solitary person)
Edited by Discreet Label, : No reason given.

Re: God's judgment
True I had forgotten about the east coast...California is the center of the world lol (i kid), But i hadn't been anywhere else in the coutnry.
Also in at the context of California, Indian gambling is not strictly touchable by the California government. However indirectly California has a great deal of power oaver Indian gambling because, California does control the transit through the Indian reservations (which are not american soil).
