Looks like Bill Bennett is being labeled a hypocrite because of his casino gambling experience. I personally see no problem with gambling. I have never really understood why this is a sin among Christians. The best I could ever get was that the Romans were wagering for Christ’s robes at the crucifixion. That doesn't seem definitive to me.
Everyday life is a gamble. We take chances everywhere. Any potential decision could wind up fatal. We gamble by choosing our major in college or by not going to college at all. We gamble when we move and when we change jobs. Some people gamble that they can drink a lot of alcohol and do themselves no damage. Gambling for money in a casino seems to be one of the safest ways to take risk. We may lose money, but we aren’t risking the direction or longevity of our lives.
