When we talk about religion we cannot dine the forbidden things like alcohol, prostitution and many other things in this topic we will discuss why do gambling is forbidden (Haram, interdit) .
So can you tell me why is it forbidden in your religion?
And for the non religious persons what you think ?
I am not really a religious person, so all my knowledge about Christianity is from the school days a long time ago. As far as I know gambling is not forbidden, it's just not liked by the religion. Instead of gambling, people should live a usefull life that would see us donate our money to good causes instead of spending it on things like alcoholm or gambling. Of course this is not something most people follow in their everyday life. Among my close friends nobody is really religious anymore and I think that the longer people stay in school and study, the lower the percentage of religious people in a society will be. It's hard to link faith to all the physical advancements the human race made in the last 100 years. Everybody should decide for themselves what kind of life they want to live and drinking alcohol, smoking or gambling is fine as long as it's not the main focus of your life. We are old enough to make our own desicisions and don't need to live by rules that where made a long time ago.
