I am not an xian but I know why they condemn gambling. They believe that the "devil" rigs the games.
If gambling is a sin, then I am in big trouble. I love to play the slots. I never bet real money on it, and I never win anything, but I do love to play just for fun, just to see if I could win.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
