Guys, my thread is not about the effects of gambling... It is about the seven deadly sins which I consider to be part of the gambler. Plus, religion has nothing to do with the seven deadly sins. And speaking of religion, especially Islam, it does not forbid gambling because of the sins, but simply because you need to make efforts to gain money, not just take people's money with zero efforts. That is from the perspective of Islam.
Well now that i think about it, it does indeed make sense, all the deadly sins are in fact a part of an addicted gambler's personality, Greed,Pride, Envy, Wrath, Gluttony Sloth, and most of all Lust, the desire for money and power is what drives a gambler the most, and they all explain the reason behind an addicted gambler's actions and behaviors.
And I believe all the sins are directed toward a person through one door and that is gambling. When a person goes into a casino, he start losing all the positive aspects he had once. He start telling lie and start dishonesty with people. He start drinking and consuming drugs and then the bad times start when he lose all what he had in his pocket. So better to retrieve yourself from this evil.
It is not only about gambling, but also in every other field like politics, relationships, and so on. Like it or not, these sins are within the human nature. They are locked up within us, and the moment they feel the urge to emerge, they do. I would be lying if I said gambling has only drawbacks, but if you are addicted to it, it will harm you.
It is like smoking or any other thing. If you eat too much, you will get fat. If you sit for a long time, you will get sitting disease. Everything is done excessively will harm you.
