Then tell me the reason you were created in the womb destined for heaven and not hell.

I don't know why God has graced me with faith in His Son. It is enough for Christians to know He has and to be grateful for the free gift of His mercy when all men deserve death due to their sins.

"But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth" -- 2 Thess. 2:13

I told you already, in this context, I don't believe in luck, I don't believe in Calvin's god. My position is that you believe in luck, despite saying you don't.

lol. Not only do you redefine the question I'm asking you, but you change my answer.

Let's try one more time.

Irrespective of anyone else's definition of luck, do you believe in luck, as defined by Webster?

I don't know why…

Might as well pick luck then.

In the case of salvation, no. Again, I don't believe in Calvin's god.

In terms of whether the coin is heads or tails, you win the lottery…, there are odds, physics and causation. A completely different subject.

You are contradicting yourself. You say you don't know yet you quote 2 Thessalonians as the reason!

And when I say I don't know, you tell me to "read the Bible"! How pathetic. One would think that after catching oneself in self-decpetion so many times, a rational human being would give up the man-made superstition and just accept the world as it is, even if we don't know what it's all about.

Instead, we make up another superstitious feel-good prescription and peddle it as cure-all until we run into another dead end corner...'cause "man's gotta believe in something—anything..."
