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.
Being a gambler, most religion don't accept gambling maybe it is because of the aspect of one being addicted, and the way people turns out to be after gambling, which is affecting the proper adoption of gambling by individuals, the way and approach the society handles gambling, like let's take for instance an addicted gambler, he lost total control of himself and everything when addicted, and if not properly taken care of that person in that situation can lead to death due to the frustration because,he has not won over a long time, or not won at all from gambling and the inputed resources not being able to account for, but if we remember, gambling has its own rules and regulations, and a lot of persons finds it difficult to follow it, maybe if gamblers are able to follow the rules, then , there might not be these issue of our religion not accepting gambling or the difference.
