ABSTRACT

This paper elaborates the main point that the complexity of abuses in gambling industry cannot be dissolved simply by enlightenment movements or national policies for morality recovery, but that it should be dealt with the complicate problems of people’s internal aspects. The government needs to prevent from the excessive urbanization, laying the administrative and institutional deployment for the balancing development of the regions, and also to commit to the ethical and pedagogical diffusion of the multi-dimensional approaches. Moreover, it needs to be stressed that, before the evil influence of gambling spreads more actively, it should be actively and specifically discussed at the level of Christian morals. In it, the Christian communities must produce proper policies or ideas, eagerly joining in the hot issues of the society, public or private. The Christianity should inspire the believers to live integral lives, so that they can cast the so-called Mammonism away and continually work for creating sound cultures in their lives. Even though the circumstances and surroundings of human societies are more and more contaminated by all different themes of pains, sufferings, and injustice, nevertheless there still lies in the basement of human nature full of expectations and desires of rest and play. Now the church must have an active interest in these cultural issues.
