Focus On The Family Supporters Should Educate Not Legislate
Responding to the proposed legislation to legalize Internet gambling by Congressman Barney Frank on Thursday, Chad Hills, a Focus on the Family action analyst, stated in an interview with CNBC’s Melissa Francis, that internet gambling is at best, “social cannibalism”.
Mr. Hills is taking the far right religious position that internet gambling is bad because it entices young people to act irresponsibly, causes suicide, tears apart families, and ruins communities. Although this may occur in rare situations, quite the opposite is true. There are more who kill for their god, or have such a feeling of not being good enough for their god that they commit suicide. In both instances they are very rare and unordinary situations.
