I decided to come up with this topic because of an experience i had yesterday and i decided to bring it here for clarity sake and to see some people's view about it.

There is this notion the society placed on those who gamble or who play all sorts of games ,be it casino,bet9ja,R/S lotto, what, snooker and many others. They often see them as those who don't have what to do ,or caliber of individuals who are jobless, a set of people who are not well trained by their parents and many more other names they call them.

i sincerely came up with this topic to find out why they have such views on individuals who voluntarily went to the betting shop to gamble either to win and make a difference or to lose and remain the same way. This idea actually started when i saw a pastor playing bet9ja after a brief evangelism and one elderly woman made a side comment ( That even man of GOD also play gamble) .

however, my question here now is : is gambling restricted to some certain kind of individuals or class? or is there any stratification when it comes to playing gambling ?please your opinions here will actually quench my curiosity.

Don't let this be the reason why you should also start gambling, in the religion side of things, many pastors are not even called upon by God, they fake it so as to have access to a parish, where they can have something to eat and take offerings from people.

In today's world, so many men of God are not real men of God, they're not called to become one, in my country for example, everyone is a man of God, one morning they are criminals and the next morning they will announce that God have called them to do HIS work.. Who are they fooling?

Those fake pastors are claiming to be pastors because they want to use it to extort people of their funds. I see those fake pastors as scammers, and they give wrong prophecy that can destroy someone's life. It is those kind of pastors that can work into a bet shop to place their bet, because they cannot hide it anymore, and they decide not to care about what people will say. A true religious man of God sees gambling as a sin and something evil, because of the negative effects of gambling, that a lot of gamblers are suffering from.

However, it is very difficult to know a pastor that is a true pastor or a fake one. People that are not even pastors do advice their children and relatives to stay away from gambling, talk more a pastor that is the head of a church.
