Do You Think Religion Or church Can Influence A Gambler To Change His Way ?

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Potentially, not every religion forbids gambling. Of course, it all depends on the person's own choice. If he has doubts that he can win, religion can be used as a reason to forbid himself from gambling, but not always.

I really don't think if the religion itself forbids gambling, I think this is mostly based on morality and societal view on gambling and fear of its negative impact on its victims.
Religious leaders have seen exactly what gambling can do to people who become addicted to it so they try to stop their followers from falling victim to gambling so some of them enact strict rules so those rules could guide their followers from indulging in gambling and risk getting addicted.

a gambling addict will stop if he is aware of it on his own and cannot be forced if it is not from their heart, even if it is religion and family, if they do not have a strong intention to leave gambling

I fully with you. True change does indeed come from within and gambling is no exception. Its essential that the person has a genuine and strong desire to change. I wholeheartedly agree that self awareness is the cornerstone of meaningful and lasting transformation.

The whole question is what made a person turn to religion. In fact, in religion there is no direct prohibition on participation in games - the prohibitions there relate more to the consequences of participation than to the participation itself. So here it all depends on the person.

Generally, gambling has done more harm than good, because majority of gamblers suffer from one level of addiction to the  other, this is because not many people who go into gambling actually knows the main reason for gambling, they go in with the wrong perspective and that costs them a lot, so the religious leaders have already seen this as a menace to the society, so rather than making exceptions, they completely condemn the activity because they know that it requires so much to be able to resist the temptation of over gambling or overspending in gambling.

Religion can definitely influence a person but not always. No matter how much we teach a person who is addicted to gambling about religion or take him to a religious institution, I don't think it will do much good. But ‍everybody will not behave the same way. If the gambler does not know and realize the negative aspects of his addiction, nothing can turn a gambler away from his gambling addiction. But I am not completely denying that there are some people who fear religion. Therefore, they refuse to do any such work outside of religion. For those people religion will work to some extent.

I'm not sure of the scripture you are talking about but you see, Islam forbid gambling and it's there in most Arabic countries. If you watch football matches in most Arabian countries, just take a look at their ads on bill board and those ones in football pitch, you will not see a single gambling platform advertisement, they are mostly other products been advertised.

I can't speak well on the doctrine of the Christianity though but the fact that everyone plays it, I think it's allow to gamble but maybe some sub-christianity will have another objectiok regarding gambling by people.

Religion can only influence a religious person. Whatever religious beliefs one may have if one is connected with his faith and regularly performs religious practices then one can be influenced to do away with gambling. If one does not follow his faith then he can not be influenced by religion.

Personally, whatever is legal shouldn't be seen from a religious perspective. I believe that even if a pastor or a priest engage in a gambling activity, it is not wrong but then people who are too religious might see gambling as a sin which will change their way of life. That is, if a person was into gambling and then repents there is every tendency that he will quit gambling if his religion perceives gambling as a sin.

Also, some individuals are blind followers of their church's doctrine and so if the church frowns at gambling, becoming a member of that church will make the gambler stop gambling. This also influences the life of a gambler.

I will say that it is the desire of getting rich quick without hardwork is what led a lot of people into gambling. They think that they can have a short cut to wealth through gamble unknown to them that gamble will fustrate them and take what they ready have from them. This is why most religion is kicking against it. Gambling is only good for fun, when you know how to manage the risk by using little amount of money to stake your bet, and know the right time to quit the game.

On the moment that you do make yourself being delusional and wants to have that easy money thing then 100% you would really be considering gambling as your option to make yourself having that dealing up with easy money kind of approach. On the moment that you would be getting addicted then this is where shit things happen.

So the question abouthaving that influence of Religion into the way you gamble? It would really be just that depending on a certain individual.
There are ones who are really that listens and sees up on the things around and there are ones who dont really care. This is why it would really be best that
you should really know on whats happening.

Well, gambling is not easy. Even if you are lucky, it doesn't make gambling an easy adventure. Gambling is hard work,  you will have to spend data and time in making predictions and then place a stake in a series of event that is not certain. Is that not a sort of effort? Hard work doesn't mean that you will have to work for days, months or years before getting rewarded.

Everything that depends on religion, church or something like that, is a very delicate subject but I start from something, from the most basic, we come to this world to be happy, not to suffer or something like that, right? I think that one way of seeing things is that if something makes me happy and does not harm anyone I do not see it wrong, but of course on some occasions if things are seen from a more religious sense, then it should not be done because the rules of religions do not allow it, but starting from the fact that the spiritual degree or level of each person varies, it is known when one is doing well or badly, then I think that playing in a casino does not make us bad people, I see that religions are just a path that leads to God or the supreme being that has the names required in each religion, but they are paths that lead to him, where games of chance do not have to be seen as something bad, of course it is my simple opinion.

If you have strong faith, someone who gambles will definitely remember their family and religion which prohibit gambling if it is excessive, so it all comes back to each individual's personal intentions and determination not to get involved in the gambling vortex.

I think this is because, that's the idea that those who promotes and advertise gambling plant in their heads.
Most of these online influencers who promote most of these gambling sites end up spreading false impression and information about gambling and make people who access their contents conceive the wrong perspectives of what gambling is all about.

They'll make gambling look so easy and portray it to be an easy and get rich quick scheme that people can just get into and win millions with very little amounts, indeed this is actually true but we rarely see and witness such occasions but they make it look soooo easy, making people buy the idea and run into it with such flawed perspective.

Yes, in Arab countries the majority religion is Islam, but we cannot apply it to other religions and other countries. We know that each religion has its own commitments and ends with the creator, so I think every religion also prohibits actions that make its people miserable,like gambling
