Do you believe in luck? How much does it matter in your life? By @Royricky09

No. I will always wish people the best and tell them I will pray for them, but I do not believe in luck. Nothing happens by chance. That is my belief, anyway. To me, luck is superstitious. That's not the way God operates.

The Bible consistently speaks against luck and superstition, emphasizing instead the sovereignty of God and the importance of trusting in Him. It views practices like divination, interpreting omens, or using lucky charms as attempts to manipulate spiritual forces or predict the future, which are considered detestable and contrary to faith in God.

I thought luck was anything good that can come out of a bad situation or you miss death by a fraction when someone cuts you up on the road. In each case like many others in different contexts, luck is very real. God knows who’s saying they don’t believe in it, luck literally could be the only reason they’re still alive.

No, I believe in prayer. I have seen it at work.

My best guess is that the laws of the universe have fundamental randomness at their base. Thus the universe is not clockwork determinism, and outcomes can only be predicted within a statistical range. I think the notion of personal luck (or the lack thereof) is pure superstition.

No, but when I was playing football and baseball, I always followed the same routines...just in case.

I do believe you have more good luck if you think you deserve it. Mindset matters

I believe in luck when it happens, and I get lucky.

Not really

I believe some times things happen out of luck and not for a specific reason.

Well, I can't count the number of times that I should have been dead, starting as a fetus.

Is that luck or randomness?

Remember there's only 8.2 billion people on this world currently. Far less back in 1959. 2.97 billion approximately.
