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

[Igebotz]

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.

The influencers are paid to promote the brand, which is exactly what they do. If the influencers choose to share the negative aspects of gambling, it will be considered a breach of contract. An influencer's job is to attract players to the brand, so it is not surprising that they share information that promotes gambling.

Surprisingly, the majority of these influencers do not gamble at all because they understand the risks involved. The only reason they decide to promote the brand is because they are paid to do so, and when players register with their promote code, they benefit as well, which is why they go above and beyond to create advertisements that are catchy and appealing to players.

Do you think that religion has the power to influence one who is addicted to gambling to stop gambling, if you have a friend who is addicted to gambling do you believe that by leading him to your religion or church he will be a changed man and stop gambling or he will moderate his addiction.

Lets's disscuss what do you think of this topic...

I will post my opinion after sharing your opinions.

Personally I don't think gambling goes against any religion, gambling has no negative effects when it's done moderately but in a case where it becomes an addiction then can affect different areas of your life including your religion. Leading an addicted gambler to church isn't really going to solve the problem if you ask me, the will power to quit that that lifestyle lies in the individual, he or she has to make some conscious decisions and a lot of efforts to stop

Do you think that religion has the power to influence one who is addicted to gambling to stop gambling, (...)

Absolutely. How is this even a question? Countless people turned their lives around from hopeless situations because of faith, be it alcoholism, drug/porn addiction or gambling.
If I'm not mistaken, resorting to faith has a better success rate than any other secular method of dealing with such problems.

It is said that faith without work is dead, which means that even if a gambler turns to faith to overcome his addiction, he still has a role to play, which is to stop continuous ambling and avoid gambling-related content and environment. As the saying goes, "out of sight, out of mind," and I believe that a gambler who avoids situations that may trigger his gambling urge is ready to overcome his addiction.

this is why i really do not like people who preach but do not do the words they say having faith and going back to practicing your religion is just one step out of many and there are still many more challenges to face in the future temptations and evil will surround you even in times where you feel secured so it does require effort and dedication even if it’s not specifically for gambling

As the saying goes, "out of sight, out of mind," and I believe that a gambler who avoids situations that may trigger his gambling urge is ready to overcome his addiction.

like i said there are still many more steps to take but taking this first step is important and already a big achievement already it takes a lot for anyone to admit their addiction let alone try to do something to help themselves

Totally depends on a certain person because we do have our own views and preferences in life on which there might really be some factors that could affect our decision and views but everything would really be just that be basing up into your own choice whether you would be making religion to be your priority or you would really be not minding about that stuff and would
continue to play no matter what? It would really be that totally be basing up into your own decision on which we know that not all would really be having on the same mindset
or approach on things. There would really be those who do go and go to other side which it would really be that totally depend.

Faith is what gives people hope in any situation they find themselves and it have helped alot of people restore themselves. People who don’t believe in any religion and have no faith don’t see the wrong in their deeds and don’t believe they can be saved from any form of addiction so faith and religion have actually influenced a lot of addiction not only gambling addiction but any form of addiction there is.

Never underestimate the power of religion.

It depends on what event the person changes their ways. Religion can change ways where if the person is in the wrong, religion can help the person reflect on himself to change ways with faith. Religions emphasize the importance of repentance and forgiveness. This idea that one can be forgiven and start fresh might inspire a gambler to turn their life around.

Religion may control a person but it does not work in the same way for everyone. There are many who have good thinking power who believe present life but not the after life, if religion is mentioned among them some will follow it and there are many who will not follow despite knowing it. Many people who use gambling for fun. If they are forbidden but they do not obey it. According to me those who started gambling must follow some religion or the other. No religion supports gambling but still the number of gamblers is constantly increasing. Gamblers conduct their gambling secretly for various reasons. Because gambling is not universally accepted.

Well I think that religion is something to be respected from every point of view, for many it is everything, but for others it is simply a path, I see it as a way to create logical thoughts and promote the existence of an Almighty God, which seems fine to me, but killing, or doing bad things in the name of religion is what I don't like because it enters into fanaticism, it is very similar to politics, at the end of the day nothing is resolved, I think that the important thing is spiritual growth and doing things right, helping the red and above all not being bad people, therefore activities like gambling should not be harmful.

Depends on religion. Some watered-down denominations of protestant Christianity are effectively reduced to "do whatever you want, God loves you anyway", so I don't think those would have any impact on anyone in any aspect of life.
On the other hand, religions like Islam consider gambling as haram (someone corrects me if I'm wrong), so any person converting to Islam would have to get rid of their gambling activity altogether.

Catholic or Orthodox Churches do not explicitly forbid gambling, but it's frowned upon, as it usually comes together with sinful behaviour, greed and other vices.

I am not sure why people try to associate gambling with religion. Instead of attempting to incorporate religion, we should attempt to quantify the positive and negative effects of gambling on people. What should a person do if gambling has a positive impact on their lives but their religion prohibits it? Stay unhappy by not gambling, or remain happy by gambling?

In my opinion, what the law says should guide us on this issue. In a country where gambling is legalized, it should not be viewed negatively, but rather there should be a crusade capable of educating people on how to gamble in the most enjoyable way possible.

When talking about religion, it will be something very sensitive, so I am quite hesitant to give my views on something like this. Because I also do not have the capacity to judge something based on this.

But I think we have our own thoughts and what we do we will be responsible for ourselves based on the religion we believe in. So we are the ones who will determine which steps, because once again we ourselves will be responsible for it.

It should be like that, but the thing is that games of Chance are always prone to be used in that way , I don't know if in religions they say it as an attempt to manipulate or something like that, there are people who are governed in an Impressive way by that ,  it's as if they didn't think , they just move like snubs to what a priest tells them, games will Always be to make us Spend a different, Pleasant moment , the fact that money is at risk makes it exciting and that must be Accompanied by Responsibility , I also see gambling as something positive and sometimes Religions want to make Something positive something negative and Transform them into acts of sin, that is where religion Manipulates.
