I used to go to Vegas about once a year, but had to cancel my plans last December. So I've not been there for three years. I do gamble when I go, but not very much, primarily because I despise losing! Most of the time, I prefer sightseeing in Red Rock Canyon, or a Grand Canyon plane trip, going to a show at a hotel, etc.
I'm asking this question because one of my friends is very disapproving about the activity, but it's just something we "agree to disagree" about, and don't discuss with each other. He has his reasons and I have mine as to how we view the activity.
But out of curiosity, I looked up "gambling immoral" in a couple search engines, and found enough &@#$%^& material for a master's thesis on the topic!
And at one of the religious websites which discussed the topic, I ran across this after they'd written about how gambling is not really "entertainment": "...in legitimate entertainment the entertainers are paid a predetermined fee..." I wonder if they meant that phrase to cover dancers? Well, the "gypsies" would be covered, I guess...although there are those religions which regard dancing as immoral...but that's for other people to post in other threads.
So, do you consider gambling immoral? Why or why not? For me, the answer to the question depends upon whether or not someone is addicted to the activity.
