Because not all religions are created equal.
Only one can be the Truth, and anything that contradicts Truth is by definition false. Therefore, only one religion fits the facts of history and shows Truth in ALL its elements. Technically, Christianity isn't really even a religion - it's a relationship. A relationship with the Guy who created you. A two-way relationship. No other religion on Earth has two-way communication. I think you should go with that.

Acts 17:11 says, "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so."
You choose by comparing the doctrine (teaching), organization, method of worship and name of the religion to the scriptures.
Also, if you make no choice, then you have chosen to not seek the kingdom of heaven, therefore you will not find it. There is really not a condition where no choice is made.

lol.. greater appropriate yet, if playing is a sin, why do many church homes host Bingo nights? this is a sort of playing, after all. for my section, i think of life is a wager and all we are able to do is take it moderately with the intention to win. in basic terms like, while it is composed of playing, whether that's complete moderately, i do no longer see it as a sin. It in basic terms will become a sin while human beings stay to gamble and harm themselves and those around them in the technique. by making use of that logic, the question is invalid.

No Compulsion in Religion
[2:256] There shall be no compulsion in religion: the right way is now distinct from the wrong way. Anyone who denounces the devil and believes in GOD has grasped the strongest bond; one that never breaks. GOD is Hearer, Omniscient
[2:257] GOD is Lord of those who believe; He leads them out of darkness into the light. As for those who disbelieve, their lords are their idols; they lead them out of the light into darkness - these will be the dwellers of Hell; they abide in it forever.

Sloth is one of the capital sins, this includes gambeling to the extent that you are spending money that should be spent on other things (Like food and such),
As for the only one religion... There is only one God (That we can all agree on) why would God give us over 35,000 different ways to worship him (this is refering to the different denominations of religion, beings each have their own way of worship)?
he wouldn't he would give us one way and others don't want to worship that way so they will go their own way.... now that means that there are over 35000 wrong denominations of religion that are wrong and only one is right...

Gambling money is a sin.
Gambling your life, or the lives of others is not. Exhibit A: Iraq.

If gambling is a sin, Pascal's Wager is a sin.

I agree with music girl; Pascal's wager would be considered a sin.

You don't choose a religion. You have to turn to Jesus!
