Lottery Logic

The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps. (Proverbs 14:15 ESV)

There was a report in the news that someone strike lottery and it was bought from a certain stall. When that happened, many people will go to the store to buy lottery tickets, hoping that the luck from the winning number will repeat itself. But based on the logic of probability, the chances of the same stall selling another winning number is actually smaller.

Likewise, many people just think that there are many religions in the world and they are also confused between religion and culture. To me, a religion has to be true and culture must be tested against truth.

There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. (Proverbs 14:12 ESV)
