Just a short story I will like to tell before the main discussion, I was opportuned to listen on a telephone conversation between a man and a Clergy, what he ask was that if it is right for someone to gamble and won a jackpot, then bring a percentage of the winning to the Clergy, will he accept such as a sacrifice for the growth and developments of the religion? Knowing that the money was gotten from gambling fortune, the Clergy accepted the money but condem gambling.
Secondly, some of us have been arguing on this before time, but I want us to go wide on this discussion using different approaches over it, which may includes the religious, political, economical and social believes to why Clergy men should gamble or not, lets sight examples where necessary, prove our point and learn from each other's opinion.
Be informed that this is a general discussion, not a threat to take attacks on each other, drop your own perspective and state some reasons to back them up, let's make it more of being fun and informative with our actual facts.
Clergy men are not supposed to be gambling because gambling is like looking for a short cut to get rich which is against religious teaching in fact I have not heard of any religious that teaches it members to be gambling since gambling looks like you are labour's for self which is against religious teaching and the fact that society has mirrors addicted gamblers as irresponsible people, they have seen many who has gone astray as a result of gambling. Although some people will condemn gambling but they won't condemn the money that is realized from gambling because if you said something is bad why will you accept money from it.
