I'm wondering why good luck is automaticaly a mirical for so many people. Your friends leg grew an inch? What does that have to do with anything, people grow. There is nothing spectacular about that. And yes people can grow in bursts, and no I do not believe you could actualy SEE it happening.
And people may cure from cancer, by medication and treatment. And there are some lucky ones where it just goes away when it's not far over and there are few who are just so lucky that it suddenly goes away when it's almost killed you.

Religion and beliefs are between your ears. It's your mind playing tricks on you. You read something in the bible, you think it's true, then when you're in church you think you can feel a presence. Nothings there, you just think it's there because you WANT to think that it's there.

Further more, I'm not religious, nor christian. And I hardly ever get sick. So who is protecting me? And if I do get sick, the last thing I'm busy doing is praying to get better. So shouldn't Satan have a hold of me by now if that was the case?

I'l tell you something which is nothing but the cold hard truth. Out of everyone on this forum, I dare to say that I by far had the worst childhood you can possible imagine. Ever from the age of 7 - 8 I had to look out for myself and fight my way trough it. In all those 10 years of hard struggle, I never once turned to god or jezus to help me out. If anything, I hated their guts for putting me trough that. I sweared back then, and I still swear today; When I die and god and jezus do wait for me in heaven, I'm gonna kick their ass.
My point is, that I didn't need no god or no jezus to help me trough that, because I knew it wasn't gonna help jack shit. All I would be doing was hiding from reality, and after a few years come to the conclusion that it didn't help, get depressed because I misplaced my faith and be far worse off then I am now. Thats what would have happend if I would have put my trust into some guy I can't see, and just hope he will settle my life straight. Instead I kept in control over my own life, with my own rules, and managed to get out of it in one piece.

And what happens to that 30 year old school teacher who has been going to church every sunday, being the ultimate christian example, being side to side with jezus and god? She gets hit my a car, leaving two children and a broken dad at home (not a real story, but you get the point).

There is nothing wrong with believing in something. If you want to believe that some guy named jezus healed tons of people. Fine. If you want to believe that he could walk on water and turn water into wine. Fine. Believe whatever you want. But don't let it control your life. Don't declare every bit of good luck you see around you to be a miracal. Don't lable everything you don't understand as 'gods will' or 'gods creation'. And most certainly don't take trust in it that 'he' will sort your problems out for you, because he won't. That's your bussiness.
