RELIGION HEADLINES TUE 10-20
(SRN NEWS)-( ) Clergymen, family advocates and other critics of gambling are amplifying a warning from a clinical psychologist in New York City. Dr. Michael Adler says he’s seeing a major spike in gambling disorders in children and young adults. Adler reports treating patients as young as eleven, as well as many in their teens and early twenties. He says the youngsters are accessing their parents’ credit cards or getting friends to put up the money, adding that they are difficult to treat because they’re not mature and have a “underdeveloped prefrontal cortex”, leading to lack of impulse control. They also tend to believe that their parents will bail them out.
( ) A coalition of pastors from Dallas is backing GOP Senate candidate Ken Paxton. The group includes Richard Ellis, who leads the city’s Reunion Church, as well as former State Representative Nate Schatzline (SHATZ-line), who is now a pastor at Mercy Culture Church in Fort Worth. The “Pastors for Paxton” coalition will lead their communities in prayer ahead of the election. Paxton is in a tough fight for the Senate seat with Democrat James Talarico, a Texas state representative who is receiving national funding. The latest polls show a dead heat between the two with two weeks to go before the midterms.
