Banning gambling or religious reasons.

[Hyphen(-)]

1_ Would it be fair or is it against the right of the other religious people who have no problems on the existence of gambling in the country but gambling has to be banned just because the other religion frowns against it?

Depending on their general belief in that country. Some countries are centered to one particular religion like Islam to be precise, and most their laws in that country and religion wise so in such countries, religion laws rules and if religion law rules, then gambling will not be accepted since it is prohibited islamically.
In a country where there are more than one religion, and the leadership of that country is not dependent solely f any religion, then they don’t have right to just ban gambling without consultation of the general public.

2_ Wouldn't a  well-defined regulations be the best solution as way of exercising and expressing a serving feeling of respect and equality for all citizens of different faith? Because placing a ban would appear to be a support and unequal on one faith against the other.

It would be the best solution to avoid conflict of interest and to maintain peace in a nation. That is why politically we do have representatives that will speak on people’s behalf.

Most religions around the world are truly against gambling, and the majority of countries are also generally against it. Now, in order to prevent the gambling business industry from having a bad image, some countries are choosing to regulate the casinos within their jurisdiction.

Others even channel their earnings through charity programs. So, the image of gambling now looks good because some of the earnings they get are given to a charity or foundation.
This also adds to the taxes paid to the government that legalizes gambling in their country.

Everyone has their beliefs, traditions and religions...there are religions that are against gambling and there are some that don't condemn it, in order to avoid conflict let everybody just do whatever they please as long as it makes them happy...saying that people shouldn't gamble at all because some religions don't approve is wrong.. every one has the right to do whatever they please with their money, as long as they are adults .

Religion has directly banned anything that is harmful to people. Gambling is banned according to religion, while some religions do not ban it but do not directly support it. Although there are some benefits to gambling, in most cases, the disadvantages of gambling are the most observed. Gambling can lead to financial ruin, family turmoil, and a significant negative impact on relationships, which is why most religions have directly banned gambling.

I think it should be 'excessive' gambling that leads to all of those effects when someone isn't responsible enough as they gamble.

Yes, this legalize gambling into those countries that has a huge revenue per se of what the casinos are paying to them. It's about the benefits that the casinos or gambling in general provides to where they are registered and doing its operations. We all know that most religions don't really teach gambling and are against it.

Sometimes, placing a ban is not always the best solution. Yes, we can always avoid gambling if our religion does not allow us to gamble, but placing a ban permanently? That is already prohibiting the rights of others to gamble freely without getting restricted on it.

For me the best solution is, prioritize gambling education instead rather than putting an end to gambling. It could be a better move for a religion who does not allow gambling, but it could be a wrong move for those religion who still allow gambling for their people.

Gambling with moderation should be given more emphasis, and not permanently banning gambling as it won’t honestly be good for all.

Exactly, as long as one is an adult, they have the right to choose what to do with the money they earn legally, but that does not mean that religion is not respected. If you belong to a particular religion, it's left for you to either follow the law of that religion or not, but don't also discriminate against those who are practising what their own religion allows. It's as simple as that.

I think that those who follow a religion must stay away from gambling, this is something that many religions, almost all of them in reality, consider an impure thing that is not good for the soul, so for their coherence they must stay away from this type of activity including gambling, it's simple, no one discriminates against them but if you preach well and practice badly, you can't expect anyone to understand you, it's simple

I agree with you as long as someone is an adult he has the right to make some certain decisions for himself and if an adult had decided to gamble I don't think anyone should be allowed to stop him from doing that not even because of religion, we as human being are the one that established religion and we are the one that follows religion so we should not allow region to follow us, everyone has his or her belief and they should follow their belief and not interfere in another person's belief, some country has totally banned gambling because of religion for me I think is not good however if the citizen of that Nations says it's okay with them then I have no problem with that however if they don't like such law I think they will protest about it so I'm not even here to abortion blame to any nation that has banned gambling as long as their citizen are okay with it then I have no issue with it too.
But everyone should respect each other's believe.

Everyone has their own belief culture and way of living and that’s what makes people different trying to force one person’s religion or moral view on everyone else only creates conflict some religions see gambling as wrong while others are more neutral about it but at the end of the day it should come down to personal choice if someone is an adult and earns their money legally then they should have the right to decide how they spend it whether that’s gambling investing or saving.

Religion is a personal matter it guides individuals on how to live but it shouldn’t be used to judge or condemn others who don’t share the same faith if someone’s religion forbids gambling then it’s up to that person to follow those teachings out of personal conviction not because others are forcing it on them at the same time those who gamble shouldn’t mock or challenge the beliefs of those who don’t everyone just needs to respect boundaries and coexist peacefully. Some countries ban gambling entirely because of religious influence and while outsiders may not agree with that it’s still a matter of their internal laws and culture if the citizens accept it that’s their system but if they oppose it change usually comes from within not from outside opinions in the end what matters most is freedom of choice and respect for each other’s values.

In some religions it's still very much allowed to gamble. Me, I'm a Christian, and where I worship there is nothing like my preacher telling us not to gamble or to gamble, although in some churches their preacher can advise them against it. Everyone just has different ways they interpret their beliefs to their followers. Some religions just don't entirely support gambling; if you are a believer of such, then totally avoiding anything that has to do with gambling will be the best.

Some of the countries that are banning gambling is not only because of being religious. Some countries have banned gambling in their countries because they feel gambling is becoming a problem to the citizens of the country, just because of the rate of people who are into gambling. The reason why these countries take the step of banning gambling is because they found it difficult to regulate gambling which they feel a ban is the best option for them.

In the countries that banned gambling because of religion, most people in the country are practicing that religion that forbids gambling. If it is just half of the population that are practicing the religion while other half population supports gambling, it is very likely that the country will support gambling. In some Muslim countries for example, they can use Sharia law to bend some of the laws but to people in their region and not the whole country. But that will be just land based gambling and not online because there is no how they will be able to block people that are gambling online in their region if the whole country have a law in support of gambling.

If i should say, i think countries that gambling is banned because of religious belief,  this happens because one religion dominates the country and one of the reason for the ban is because to stop strangers and visitors from gambling in their country. I doubt a country that consist of different religion will just ban gambling just because of religion, if this happens I doubt if it is because of religious belief,  maybe because of the gambling rate in the country.

I would try to summarise long story short. This post was activated by a comment from a fellow user in a topic in the gambling board about countries banning gambling. But what would happen in a country with two major religions, one don't have a problem with gambling, the other does.

I am not aware about all religions on earth, but from what i learnt i guess all religions have anti-gambling stance. Not all of them prohibit gambling in clear legislations, but most of them discourage this practice as a mean self-destruction which all Gods from all religions consider it a sin.

[Joeboy]

Let me say like 50-60 percent of the known and popular religion we have in the world today,( no need of mention ming their names) are against gambling but then some of this followers of these religions still go ahead to gamble. Well all I keep wondering if why this religion are against gambling? Cos when folks gamble with the right state of mind which is gambling for fun and entertainment purposes, there isn't any kind of evil in it, it is not as if one is robbing or killing anyonee.
