Can gambling turn an atheist to theist and superstitious?

[Johnzky]

In most religions, God wouldn't help you anything with gambling so there's no relation to it.

Well maybe most religions believe that God dont interferes in gambling since thats a sin but i know some Christian’s that pray and ask for gods grace whenever they go to gamble lol

I won't have an argument regarding that but it's the reality.

Maybe he just called himself an atheist but the truth is he don’t even know whats an atheist must be,because if you are a true nonbelievers of God these things won’t cross your mind

or it has fixed his mind because he wanted to win badly.

Yeah lets just respect the beliefs of everyone as if we’re talking about religions everything has different stands and faith

But its happier if he really change from being atheist to God believers.the sad part is just because of gambling to win thats why he changed lol 😂

Most of religions are decide to forbid gambling so if you were identified as the gamblers then it's will against the religions and i think there is no related between gambling to atheist or not because it's pure luck of games unless you were addictions and want to stop gambling then get closer to your god through religions can help you to cure your addictions

[eternalgloom]

Interesting concept, I think it definitely can happen to some people, but it entirely depends on how gullible you are as a person.
In the end it's just the effect of the gambling addiction that causes people to believe in that sort of divine intervention.

It's not going to help you in the long run, it will just cause you to gamble more & lets you think that you have luck on your side.
Pretty dangerous thing to let that happen to you, in my opinion at least.

Yes. I believe gambling is not listed in the will of God so if ever you win, it's not that God is helping you but rather it's your lucky day and so you win your bets. Gambling is just all about pure luck and even chances and if you gets addicted with it, then it would be likely turns out that gambling happens to be your god too because you believe on it.

When you are already coming to a point on where you do already praise or believing too much on Gambling then you are already on the addiction mode.You are
already not on your mind to think up clearly on the things you should supposed to think off.Its never had a connection between divine things to gambling, it all
matter with luck when you win.Period.

Yes, we have our own beliefs and traditions regarding this.

About changing from his belief as atheist to God believing because of gambling, I don't have anything to say about it. He just have to live his life to the fullest.

Gambling can change anyone to any type of situation so in this gambling field you need to be very very careful while doing something because the value of your investment will be not in your hand the success is not depend on your work you need to be very lucky every time.

[Supercrypt]

This is one thing I think almost all atheist have in common and it makes me wonder what the belief is really all about. When there are good times you attribute it to nature or something else and when there is trouble you call on God to save you, I don’t know how a gambling game can make an atheist become theist but I know gambling is a game of lucky and luck is anything that happens by chance and that’s the same thing with loss.

So when you win, I think you should be grateful that your luck shine so well on that day rather than thinking it’s the color of cloth you wore. If there’s  a particular cloth color to gambling, I am very sure everyone would buy that. Well calling God to help you when you looseis also not a bad Idea, he could as well help.

I am surprised to know anyone can think this way. Does that not sound really dumb? Attributing good to nature and calling for divine help when there is trouble, if there is a divine help in trouble, why not also call that to win instead of depending on nature.

It shows the extent to which some gamblers can go with the game, I think gambling can actually get some people confused especially when played with too much desperation instead of doing it for fun. Well gambling for me is strictly a game of strategy. You can’t enter into a football pitch without knowing how to play, no matter how healthy you look, that’s the same thing with gambling, no matter how lucky you think you are, you need strategy to win the game.

[Whosdaddy]

Compulsive gamblers can do anything  and I won’t be surprised if they suddenly change from atheist to been theist but the normal gambling does not have any relationship with religion. It’s a game of fun that should be played without stress or pressure. The reason the poster suddenly depend on help from God to win might probably be because something huge is at stake which is not supposed to be so.

I think if a little amount of money is used in playing there won’t be fear of losing or divine help required to win and the game would be more pleasurable. Gambling is a game of entertainment, so in my opinion religion should not come into the game.

[mersal]

Dan expected things are easily happened in gambling if it is possibly going your life will be totally changed it and you will be a a very rich person in one gambling but if it was negative you will be going to enter in your life and it will give so much pressure in your normal and personal life

[fasdorcas]

Though many people believe in the power of God's favor or one kind of power in turn thinks to they favour I strongly things that atheist will change their views about God because of momentary gains since this is base on believing.

An atheist does not have to make gambling a reason to find God. Gambling is random and you might win or loose at different times. Talking about the signs of the presence of God, wee there is a great universe out there and if an atheist is able to see the signs of God in His creation, he would no doubt think over the presence of God. If a mere win after loosing multiple games in gambling can make a mind hold God responsible for the win, why not the universe and the signs laid in it? It is all about beliefs and your research and knowledge. Research about it.

I guess I can see how someone might see a miracle in the growth of a plant or the wonder of space. But I am completely baffled at how one might reconcile religion and math.  Mathematics is pure logic and has no room for belief at all.  It is completely predictable and provably knowable. So if you think God is going to make one plus one equal three, then you don't know God or math. 

[iqlimasyadiqa]

too far illustrates a gambling game. belief in God is too not worth the confidence when we win the gambling game. I think we should just consider gambling as an entertainment so we don't imagine many things. Think of gambling as an entertainment so you will be comfortable doing whatever gambling game you do.

OP came to that point that he's desperate to ask God to give him luck.

And by chance, he was able to get what he wanted.

[Chikitita2004]

I don't think it makes them believe in God though some really do believe in God but for an atheist to suddenly call on God just to win, I call it clinging to something sharp for their personal interests. Anyway I don't believe that atheists do not believe in God, in their heart they know there is a supreme being out there but they choose to convince themselves there isn't.

[bitcoin31]

God will not related if you have big lose or big win. I tried to pray to god I hope I win this today but I realize better to not pray for god if we are playing gambling Im not saying gambling is bad but for me is not good if we are praying to win don't pray if you wish to win to gambling because maybe god will not going to accept your prayer.

[coin-investor]

I don't think it's true it's just a coincidence, God had a special way to make his presence to his children but never in gambling we must not think that God will help us win gambling it's against his teaching and we all know religious organizations are forbidding his members participating in gambling activities.

I guess that in every religion, gambling is prohibited, but we (human) seems to forget that it's prohibited and we still playing gambling. But maybe for the atheist, they can turn to theist if they can think about the danger of playing gambling, and in the long-term, it will ruin their life and will lose the money.

Just heard someone pray for gambling  . But actually it is ok because people can pray and do something and maybe hope for luck is good to do too. Since gambling is type of game that need luck to win it.

For me religion was just a guidance for everybody who seek the purpose of life, in accordance of knowing God. We can't judge those people who played gambling because, not all those who involved themselves in gambling is a bad person. Just like on those who go to church or not, some people attending daily church still commit evil doings compared to none goers.

Let every person do their will of life, and as long as you've played gambling without compromising other peoples lives then nothing's wrong with that. It depends on a situation if an atheist or religious individual will have some superstitious reference on the way they play gambling, that's freedom of perspectives.
