because gambling is prohibited by religions such as Islam and other religions. and it is also written in the book that the greatest sin is gambling. then before it is too late better self-conscious to stop doing gambling

Self-consciousness should come to a human from inside and not from reading any religious texts. While it is true that religions condemn gambling even then the fact that gambling is leading to a bad loss should be understood by the person who is playing and not taught to them by some religious leader or so. Most people who start gambling know how bad the losing streaks can lead to but they fail to realize that in proper time.

So this would hurt gamblers religiously, thanks for informing them they will not go to heaven if they become addict. Youve a got a point here also, a spiritual point. Almost all the seven deadly sins are covered in gambling, so alarming, yet theres still people including those spiritual one who is deeply involved to it.

Shows what you understand? That people dont even read these stuff anymore. They are greedy and thus they deserve the consequences.

those things which is OP mentioned above is clearly true that this is common mistaken from people who already being an addicted gambling with eventually those things can lead people to ruin their life and ruin their family but besides all of it people has do the Seven Deadly Sins such as OP said because they're too lazy to do works hard and want instant money

It is true that a lot of people get addicted to gambling and true that a lot of them are wanting to have an easy way of earning money but I don't think that some of them are gambling because they are wanting to earn money but also because they want to have some fun but I know deep inside that they want to earn but the real reason is just to have fun.

Some gamblers do the bad things in the name of gambling, they tend to forced someone to give them money so they can gamble. This is how risky the gambling is because you will not just loss the money but yourself too. Some people think gambling is just a sin but I think it will depend on every gamblers decision.

Those who do bad things in the name of gambling need to mend their ways. If they are forcing people to give them money - the easy thing is to ignore them but if things become worse then they should take the help of local authorities law and order. While on the internet they can only beg in casino chatboxes - they would get muted very soon.

It can turn the life of a gambler into a living hell while making him a strong addict who won’t stop borrowing money and betting again. Anyone who loves himself will stay away from this.

But if they took the path on their own will then who are you to judge? They will suffer but they wont learn their mistake or rectify it.

Gambling is part of life, but if you gamble Bitcoin means you want to take the risk it's because gambling can give you two option. Be poor or be rich. Waste your money in gambling without even thinking your needs then your done, but gambling with wise decision then your okay with it. We cannot just conclude what gamblers feel, it always depends to what we want to do. Don't gamble with shitcoins always gamble with pure one.

Gambling has never been part of life. You can live a normal life and get rich without gambling. It can make you either poor or rich. But it is going to be your choice whether to be poor or rich because you can gamble and be aware of your limits. Gambling can teach you lots of things, but once you are addicted to it, it will turn you to the dark side, and it will be hard to get out of it. And by the way, what do you mean by shitcoin and pure one?

If you say gambling is a part of life, it is a stupid thing and thing that pushes you into a dark world. because gambling can hurt you and will make you fall poor and if there are rich because playing gambling in just a short time it will not last long.
being a good part of life is a positive thing or doing a good thing that will make you hudup calm and blessing. You are very mistaken if gambling will be a part of life, a suitable gambling game is just a moment to fill the void or entertainment for a moment.

Peep really need to reconsider their choice and change their taste or at least raise standards a bit high. Making gambling as one's part of life is the most stupid thing I have heard ever. Nothing can be as ridiculous, useless and dangerous as gambling is.

It can turn the life of a gambler into a living hell while making him a strong addict who won’t stop borrowing money and betting again. Anyone who loves himself will stay away from this.

We all are sinners, someone more, someone less. My own I do not believe in all those bitten cheeks and so on, but I think those basic rules that written in Bible are just holding us from killing each other. Every single person as much sinner as he allow himself to be.

being a human, it is not possible to never commit a crime or do a wrong deed. As the saying goes, to err is human. We are not flawless. But like you said, some people are worse than others. At the end of the day, we all have hurt others in one way or other. But as far as we learn from these sons and give up on them, if think it is more than okay to screw up. A person must correct his path once he has learnt the truth.

because it is forbidden by religion. so if I think before it's too late it's better to stay gambling game it's because gambling is one of the unloved jobs above

Why do you care about religion it nothing but all a business and you think people in your religion don't gamble I'm sure there will be several people who gamble even when it isn't allowed in gambling

Gambling may sound negative in all aspects but still some people choose to do it.That's why gambling is only intended for fun and entertainment and not just to become a main source of living.It is there where pride,greed and sloth starts.People cannot control their emotions anymore especially if they keep on losing so they will just end up destructing their own lives.

Everyone in this world is a mix of good and bad. There is good in bad and bad in good - the Yin and Yang. You can see this everywhere in real life. A bad person will have some good qualities and a good person will have some bad qualities. Its upto the person dealing with them who is going to determine which side they want to see.

The holy books or so dont stop you from gambling. If you want to gamble forget about the world and gamble. The texts are there to guide you not to enforce you. What you do is dependent on your insight and conscience.

If the Bible said not to kill each other, then why there had been wars done by Christians? They claimed that God sent them to make other people follow the right path. And the results were the bloodshed, discrimination, and so on. And added to that, the bible has nothing to do with Gambling. So, I do not why you related religion to what I have said in my thread. Get your facts straight from now on.

The number one sin of gambling is greed because though people will be winning, they should know exactly when they should say "hey i have won enough" but that rarely happens and then they start a downward spiral where they lose everything in the process.

It may sound blasphemous but to be honest, the bible has little to do with the peace we have today. Remember that there has been a lot of war and killings in the name of "god" of whatever religion. The christians once launched a crusade and killed thousands of people or even millions. Then the muslim extrimist also have done so through whatever terror group. Can we say the bible was the leading cause of peace? I don't think so. Gambling is another issue, like something was extremely wrong with the act. No one is hurting anyone in gambling but themselves if they lose, so why is it a sin?

Just because we have the freedom to do whatever we want to rather we can do whatever we like to does not mean everything is right.

I never said that. It is the person who is doing something who is supposed to judge their actions as right or wrong. Gambling is wrong according to someone may not be true for another person.

Quote from: Aikidoka on May 08, 2018, 09:54:20 AM

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.

It is an addiction if done too much. But failing to realize that the effect is bad is being stupid.

Personal preference is what gambling is all about.
When it comes down to it.
You are the one wagering with your money not somebody elses so you are taking your destiny in your own hands and should not blame it on sins or fictional mumbo jumbo.

I do not know why people are bring religion into this conversation because gambling should not have anything to do with it. Roll Eyes

I don't even know why they are singling out gambling for sin when we have all sorts of trading platforms running which operate in the same way as gambling and can be as addictive as well. Why aren't forex trading or even gold, silver and the rest of the commodities on the stock exchange treated the same way? I don't think it's fair because in all of them you have to hedge with your money until a time to make profits or losses.

Quote from: Aikidoka on April 30, 2018, 04:08:04 PM

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.
