Table Games Are Worse Than Sin

Some are taking the stance that table games are a sin, pure and simple, and the addition of them to the Kanawha County race track would be perpetrating the sin that started when they brought in slot machines. However, some think that the fact that the Bible says it is a sin is really of no consequence to many others who are also against the games.

They think that the ones hollering about sin, might want to try a different tactic. They believe that people across the board will want to veto the games – liberals, independents, moderates and conservatives alike, will all veto the measure. They say that it is money and politicians that are pushing these through and the churches might want to get on the bandwagon of a different tune before it is too late.

By hawking that it is a “sin” they are putting people’s backs up saying that someone else’s morality should not be shoved down their throats. However, even the idea that gambling addiction will be increased is a far more powerful argument to many people. The games will take those people who just cannot help themselves and take all of their money, while stripping them of their dignity at the same time.

Not only that, but the casinos are always ripe with corruption. Any kind of increase in gambling is only asking for trouble with a capital T. They say that the way the games are being pushed at everyone it already smells of political corruption, and expanding gambling will only increase that. And while they are increasing political corruption, they will also be increasing domestic violence, child abuse, drugs, violence, prostitution, etc.
