I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

I don't either. I think you and me and millions of others aren't the ones to have goodness tossed upon their heads.

That's life. And maybe luck/chance. So I'll put you in that category.

Good answer. Who says there has to be one or the other?

Kentona and Mirak's answers are both acceptable!
I believe in me. Everything else is a false idol.

Luck is coincidence. Miracles are supernatural intervention. Signs are personal interpretation. The three are not mutually exclusive or inclusive beliefs.

If I were to express a "belief" in terms of what I feel can be proven concretely, I'd speak only of luck, as it's evident in life.

I do believe in signs, though I would not express such things as evident fact, as they're entirely within the purview of my own narrative worldview.

I'm agnostic about miracles; many things seem miraculous to me personally, but there's no evidence of "miracles" in the most common sense.

Thank you for reading my essay comparing and contrasting belief, signs, and miracles. I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

I liked it! Good points :)

That, and the added effect of manifestation, that being open to such things allows them to happen more easily

I believe in Chance Encounter and Near-Death Experience.





More seriously, though, I dunno. I guess a bit of both?
Hey, if the last two NHL draft lotteries have taught me anything is that luck never seems to fall in our favor and miracles and signs are just a bunch of hooey anyway. We never get anything good here besides more rain…and higher housing prices and taxes, of course. *shrugs*

I'd argue that being born in an industrialized Western country with things like internet access is extremely lucky.

Yes. That's a good way to look at it.

@Shinan- Thats an underrated third to the question, for sure. Some can consider being unlucky because of X, when really probability is inescapable. 1 out oof every 5 people will have X just because.
