Pastors preach against betting but allow their children to engage in American Lottery - Broda Sammy
Ghanaian gospel musician Brother Sammy has ignited discussions with his outspoken views on betting, lotto, and body piercings, claiming that none of these practices are inherently sinful.
During an appearance on UTV’s United Showbiz, he urged Christians to reconsider their rigid stance on such issues, stating that these lifestyle choices should not be a source of religious condemnation.
Brother Sammy argued that many individuals, including Christians, pray for financial blessings while ignoring betting as a valid means of generating quick income.
He highlighted the double standards of some religious leaders, particularly pastors who publicly denounce betting but allow their own children to engage in American lotteries.
Although he clarified that he has never personally participated in lotto, the musician mentioned that he would not preach against it, as he knows of individuals who have used their betting earnings to contribute positively to society, including helping to build churches.
The gospel singer further criticized the judgmental attitude often displayed in churches toward people with tattoos, piercings, and other unconventional appearances.
He noted how those with tattoos or multiple piercings are often scrutinized when entering religious spaces, while women who wear weaves and synthetic hair face no such backlash.
Brother Sammy expressed frustration at the inconsistency in societal judgment, particularly how people are treated based on their appearance rather than their character or faith.
The musician’s remarks reflect his broader stance on personal freedom and wealth creation, as he rejects traditional norms that he believes unfairly limit people’s autonomy.
Brother Sammy remains committed to advocating for a more inclusive and less judgmental approach within Christian communities, emphasising the importance of tolerance and understanding when it comes to lifestyle choices and appearance.
