What a man goes inside does not defile him, but what a man leaves does.... wait, that ain't it.

Just kidding, there friend. No, being in a casino doesn't make you a hell bound gambling reprobate any more than going to McDonald's makes you a Big Mac. However, going to McD's may make you a Big Mac eating gluttonous reprobate, but we'll save that for another thread. :lol: Meanwhile, I'd like mine with cheese!

Buy me a ticket and I'll go with you... depending upon who is the entertainer. Dr. Ron will drive us. :lol:

I think the initial post should have been under the "Lets make up some sins" thread.

I have been to a McDonalds in a Casino. Would that make me a Big Mac eating, gambling, gluttonous reprobate?

Actually I was underage at the time. I was in the Navy at the time and a group of us went to some Casino in Biloxi that had a McDonalds inside. Most of us were underage. Had to get a security escort to McDonald's. Then after we ate we had to get a security escort out of the casino. :lol:

So then, it's OK for me to go to a local club if my son is performing there? What about "the appearance of evil" and "people will think you're there to drink" or "don't let your good be spoken evil of?" I've heard these reasons all my life. Are you now telling me I can go clubing??? WOW! And I've waisted all these years... :lol:

Martha,

Just DON'T take a toke off the cigarette that is passed your way and you'll be fine.

SweetPea, just give me a call, you know I will go with you. :) We have gone to Tunica and enjoyed the casino's huge, huge buffets before. :oops:

If someone were to pay you ten cents for every kind word you ever spoke and collect five cents for every unkind word, would you be rich or poor?
