  Do we have to agree with you?
  Do we have the right to disagree with you?
  What do you hope to achieve out of all these threads, beside hurling insults at people who disagree with you, ie, since not many people agree with what you say, what are you going to do next?
  Are you Andrew PK Yap?
  
  you still haven't answer these questions.... but you'd probably sidetrack them in you usual "amicable" style.
  
  One more question:
  Have you found anyone here in forums that agreed with you?

  i think then you have a very narrow view, so lets assume that there is no casino and no gambling... then what? are all the rest of the issues still irrelevant?
  
  what you fail to see here is that the dietary habits of the childern today are the ones that are far more likely to harm them than the casino ever will. Studies to this are widespread and well published. So what do you have to say to that?
  
  

  Still does not make the casino harmless. If you want to discourage people from eating "bad" food; I am not stopping you.

  Since when was Hashem ever an ATM machine???
  
  I serve Him, but it does not mean that I also do not want to be blessed by Him.
  
  Please answer my original quesition, do you not want to be blessed by Hashem? Do you not desire also His ways of prosperity, not just in the material, but in all areas of your life?

  Exactly, it is your attitude. Do you serve him to be blessed with material prosperity or because Hashem is your God?

  to onceinabluemoon...
  
  so what do you plan to do about the problem of casinos and gambling? with all your rhetoric about it being bad and harmful... what do you want to do about the issue? How are you going to influence the government about it?

  Hashem is my God, but it still does not mean I don't want to be blessed.
  
  please also answer all of my questions as I am waiting for your answers... thank you.

  That was no longer the issue. The issue had moved on to whether Christians should support evil people and evil organisations. To quote CE, he had no problems buying noodles from pimps even when he knows that the pimps were selling noodles to promote his prostitutes. He might not be tempted by the pimp's prostitutes, but many would.
  
  Buying noodles from pimps is giving those pimps your custom; your support. That is why they are called "customers"

  and if in your opinion Hashem did not bless you, you will change God? you expect Hashem to bless you with a billion dollars and if he did not, you change God?

  I will never believe in another God... Yahweh is my God forever and I am His child regardless of what happens in my life. As Job says, the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of Yahweh.
  
  Still sidestepping my other questions... please answer...

  The next question naturally would be are you simply a worshiper or a servant? Are you a worshiper so that you can be blessed or a willing servant who's reward is the serving?

  i think for the most part, many of us here agree in principle that the casino is "bad", but your focus is so narrow, that you do not see other issues that are more pressing.

  seems that this thread is going the way of a similar thread in EH.. in the light of this, I will now close this thread as I feel that the TS has had ample opportunity to get comments.
