We've been discussing this at work rather a lot lately.

I have it on the solemn assurance of several actual christians that there isn't a prohibition in the bible regarding gambling, per se.

I mean, yeah, there's that bit where the roman soldiers are gaming for jesus' garments, but that's about it.

There isn't a "Thou shalt not gamble" in the 10 commandments ...

(Yes, I totally think the situation is as amusing as hell, but I don't really see the problem, assuming that it was in fact HIS money.)
