Re: Is it a sin to gamble?

I'm muslim. For me it's sin absolutely. Because Kuran doesn't let it. Undoubtedly, for my religion gambling is devil's trick. By gamble devil make breaks between people, and keeps away people from worship and their religion. But I think on other religions playing on casino sites is not sin. In general, no benefit from gambling.

Your religion is trying to protect you from gambling problems. If you are taught for your own benefit then you may or may not follow some belief. But if it is being taught in the name of God then definitely you will obey to that. Gambling is a thing, every human must avoid, when it is categorized as sin then we should not touch for any reasons.

While most people can gamble and suffer no ill consequences of doing so, there is a small minority that will suffer the consequences and that is why religious authorities try to protect them with rules like that but unfortunately for those that cannot control themselves most of the time the rules are not followed.

Religion shouldn't be a general reason i guess ,
Take it personally and we might good to go to discuss about this ,
When you have a strict environtment around you about gambling then just obey it ,
Gambling is a sin or not are your own responsibility , just don't harm people .

If you are religious, or if you feel you have a religion, then you have to do everything and treat everything based on religion. Because if you ignore the rules of religion it is the same as you do not believe in your religion. If you want to gamble, then you should know the gambling law on your religion. Once you know it, then it's up to you, just make sure you continue it or not.

yes no doubt that it is too much important to me in my religion gambling is not legal and therefore it is consider as sin. but I can see that still a lot of people are playing gambling arguiging that they are playing gambling for fun and enjoyment only, but I do not think that there is any fun and enjoyment in bitcoin if money is not involve there.

If gambling is forbidden in your religion, then whatever your purpose in gambling is still a sin. Because sin can not turn into no sin Just because you do not consider it a sin. That's worse than when you do not know if Gambling is a sin. If you already know gambling is a sin And you're still Gambling, it's your business, you're taking a risk.

If we are talking on religious aspect we would really able to say that gambling is really a sin and as you said even how matter we said that its not a sin since it been told their that committing such thing is a sin then it already been considered and you cant really avoid such thing.

Religions just protect the weak people who can't think for themselves, so they need a religion to tell them what to say and think about their existence and about what to do or not on this life. There wouldn't be problems in gambling if everyone were mentally strong, but religions forbid it because they know weak people will be consumed by the game and will lose everything. Strong people could gamble and stop anytime without problems.

For me the addiction is a sin, but normal, aware gambling not.

You do have a point but having a religion doesnt mean that it do control people on the things that they must and musnt do. Having awareness on things is good but also religion would really give some ideas why its being prohibited or not.This is just only a case since there are lots of religion on this entire world which beliefs would really be different at all.
