Not everyone wins life's lottery.

You evidently think that life is a lottery, eh?

This Christian Conservative believes that life is what we make it through Almighty God's gift of free will. It is our choices and deliberate decisions that guide the outcome of our lives. Life is not a Las Vegas game of chance. It is all about personal responsibility.

First of all, “win life’s lottery” is a very common turn of phrase; a colloquialism that means successful.

Secondly, congratulations on your religion. Be sure to continue patting yourself on your back over it in direct contradiction to Christ’s teachings of humility and kindness. Shrug.

As for free will, sure, we have it, after all the following is chosen for us:

Our parents, family and their socioeconomic status
Our genetic inheritance
Whether or not we are born healthy and free of birth defects
The country, culture, society and religion into which we’re born
The era into which we’re born
Whether or not we have siblings
