    Do You Feel Guilty Gaming Easter Weekend?

    Most of you guys are phony Catholics so I guess it does not matter, I am Jewish American so I have the GREEN LIGHT to gamble. This is a Holy Week for lots of people around the world.

    As a non-practicing Catholic, I feel no guilt.

    Jesus died on the cross so that I could put 2 G's on the Rays tomorrow.

    Thanks God!

    Most people here would bet on an Easter egg hunt if odds were available.

    First of all I resent the term phony Catholics when it's applied to me. I may not be a perfect Catholic, but I still go to Mass three weekends out of four and I made it to the Good Friday service yesterday too. If my parish need a lector, a eucharistic minister, or a cantor/organist I'm always ready to make time and help out.

    I really have never felt guilty over my gambling. I always give more money to charity each year than I lose gambling as my penance for squandering this money. As such, I don't think God is angry with me for gambling during Holy Week, and I personally think he laughs he ass off at all the noises and gestures I make as a game goes on. I am His child, and just like my parents would buy me presents from time to time to see me excited as a child, I think he's happy to see that a little $25 bet on a sporting event still makes me animated and joyous.

    He said "most of you guys," RS, not all of you guys or most of you guys and RogueScholar. Is it resentment you felt, or possibly a tinge of guilt?

    No guilt here, Willie. I wasn't specifically excluded, either. Since I'm one of the more visible Catholics on SBR, I figured I had the right to take a little umbrage at the remark. As an openly bisexual Catholic I've taken more than my fair share of heat about being "phony", and I guess I'm a little sensitive about it.

    I am Jewish, I have no clue what the hell Easter even is. I know it has something to do with that guy on the cross, that's about it.

    You're a phony Jew. And so was Jesus.

    i see you do a lot of "thinking"...ever think about how much that $ you spend gambling could help end abortion, feed the hungry, cloth the needy, fund a local food bank etc? any real man of god would never let his $ that could be given for good, risked for evil. (or some chit like that spoken with charelton heston's voice)

    and while we're on it: openly bi-sexual catholic, eh? hows the parish feel about that? if they know (and accept you/your $) the catholics are more hurtin' for loot than i had originally suspected. Father Joe diddling alter boy patrick cost $ ya know....


    such a sham.......
