the the class play the game. Her son came home and asked “What does summons mean?” She
inquired further and her son explained that as a result of playing the game “all the kids go out on
the playground at recess, wave sticks around and say 'spirits enter me.'”

Gambling
There are many sources of gambling available to Americans; among these are: betting on
horses, dog racing and sports, lotteries card games, bingo and casinos. “Americans wager more
than $600 billion a year.”

In 1995 Americans gambling produced legal gambling revenue of
$40 billion in the U.S.

When illegal gambling is factored in, losses on gambling wagers may
be twice as high.
Jesus stated, “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the
other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon”
(Matthew 6:24). Mammon means wealth, you cannot serve God and wealth. The point is not that
wealth is bad but rather how you use the wealth defines whether you love and serve God or
whether you love and serve the wealth.
What do the statistics show about how Americans use their wealth? In 2001 total
charitable giving was $212 billion. This seems like a lot but it is important to realize that a great
deal of charitable giving is given by Corporations and individuals for things such as political
campaigns, environmental organizations, aid for animals, population control, the ACLU and
non-Christian religions. Some of these organizations are anti-Christian, they appose the work of
the gospel and some of this money even goes to fund terrorists. Much of this money actually is
used to destroy Christianity in America, this will be covered later.
Of the total charitable giving in 2001, $81 billion went to religious organization; that’s
38.2% of the total charitable giving.

The gambling wagers of $600 billion in 1995 were almost
650% more than they give to advance God’s work in 2001.
The heart of the United States has been revealed by how she uses her money. The $212
billion for charitable giving is not relevant because much of it is spent in opposition to God.
Even some of the $81 billion in religious giving is spent in opposition to God but we'll use this
figure for illustration.
In 2001 Americans spent an estimated $123.6 billion on entertainment.
392
Spending on
entertainment and gambling losses were double the amount of religious charitable giving.
Americans spent $313.7 billion on clothing and shoes in 2000; this was nearly four times what
they gave to religious organizations.
393
In 2001 Americans spent over four times as much on
eating out ($331.8 billion) and drinking at bars as they did in religious charitable giving.
394
As a
percentage of our nations income $81 billion in giving to religious organizations is only eight
tenths of a percent (.8%).
Conclusion
The current state of the entertainment industry didn't happen by accident. Satanist devised
