Gambling and Spirituality

Was searching for something and ended up with this site...:

Gambling and Spirituality, A New Anthropological Perspective

Not exactly what I was looking for but the title kept my attention and read the whole thing. Some very interesting facts and points of view.. Can't say I agree with everything that's being said in the article but still, it made me think.

" . . . this dilemma is known as divine discontent, and as the native gambling myths show, such malaise is a necessary step in the process of becoming spiritual. Society can try to exile or reform addictive gamblers but, ultimately, they must embark on their own vision quest that takes them deeper into their traditional beliefs, and beyond."

Wow! Next time I have to explain my behavior to someone who opposes gambling I am just going to tell them I spend many hours a week doing spiritual research.
