Is 'luck' compatible with religion?
According to the OED dictionary, luck is “success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one’s own actions”.
Webster says :
Luck
noun
ˈlək
1.
a: a force that brings good fortune or adversity
Luck was a big factor in the outcome.
b: the events or circumstances that operate for or against an individual
The loser muttered something about bad luck.
2.
: favoring chance
also : SUCCESS
had great luck growing orchids
Religion (particularly the more conservative Christian and Jewish sects) teach that any and all actions are God’s will, and that we, as humans, (a) have no ability to question God’s will, and (b) must accept what ever that will may be.
So, is wishing someone “Good luck” a sentiment incompatible with religion? How can luck have any effect on the predetermined will of god?
