Does your religion allow gambling and is gambling linked with religion?
It's probably allowed in my religion but I doubt it's linked with it though.
Why do you link gambling and religion?
This topic shouldn't be discussed because it will lead to a discussion about religion that might lead to debates on the principle among religions.
I guess it's because of what OP mentioned about one religion going against it. I also agree that there's no need for this topic as there used to be a similar thread that covered the same topic.
