maybe he does banish luck to christians and summon it again for christians at his whim. i believe in luck and has it's own glory to it in may different angles to get rid of coming darkness in life. with such hope in life, things can really be more vibrant and therefore life can have more things in it. it can be a great promise and aid if it indeed exists for people. to follow down the paths of luck could be really fun if it exists. perhaps there're currents and eddies that hold luck in the universe. maybe that's god. it can really make one useful to another too.
Actually, that sounds pretty chaotic to me. And, as much as it sounds "hopeful" to you, it sounds pretty hopeless to me.
There is a term that people who believe in luck or karma seem to forget:
"For every action, there is a reaction"
Or even "Cause and effect"
Let me explain luck away....
If you get in your car, and you speed 10+ mph OVER the speed limit every day, it will only be a matter of time before you get caught and receive a ticket for it. Bad luck? No, certainly not. Statistically speaking, it would have only been a matter of time before you would receive one for breaking the law.
Luck or unlucky had nothing to do with it. Cause and effect did. You were speeding, you then in turn eventually got caught and received a ticket. The police force in each area is only so big and has to maintain a much larger population. So just because it took, lets say, 5 months before you got the ticket, doesn't mean you were unlucky or lucky.
Like I said before, it is a term used for those who do not wish to believe in God or have no knowledge of God.
Here is something that relates to luck. I did not think of this material, someone else did. So that is why it is quoted. Just something to think about.
"Start with nothing. From nothing, for no reason or purpose, lifeless, mindless material just came into existence.
Lifeless, mindless material, existing for no reason and with no purpose, somehow, some way, through a process that has never been observed anywhere, spontaneously generated something that was living.
This living thing, having come into existence from mindless and lifeless material, for no purpose and with no reason or meaning, found a way to replicate all by itself.
Over millions and millions of years, this now-living material, existing for no reason or purpose whatsoever, developed into creatures that could think and reason intelligently, and are held morally accountable for their actions.
Thus, lifeless, mindless matter, from accidental, purposeless, non-rational forces of chance, gave rise to life and mind, reason and intelligence, morality and responsibility.
Intelligence and morality are thus the end product of non-rational, mindless, lifeless, chance accidents through time.
End in nothing.
Start with nothing. End in nothing. No reason. No purpose. No meaning. From nothing to nothing. Everything in between is the result of mindless, accidental forces with no ultimate goal or purpose."
