Some people think it is lucky, I am of this opinion.

Like Syren mentioned, some think it brings bad luck, others good. Some don't think it has any special meaning at all. I personally haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary on the day. I also think that if you believe strongly enough that you're going to have bad luck or misfortune on that day, then you will. The good, old power of suggestion.

Friday the 13th is considered bad luck due to an incident that happened in 1307 when Philip the IV of France arrested the Knights Templar. It was Friday the 13th.

I have no proof this is the factual reason for the superstition, however it is the most popular one.

I don't find Friday the 13th to be an issue for me.

I passed my driving test on friday 13th

Personally I don't think Friday the 13th is any more likely to bring bad luck than any other day of the year. I just think people notice it more on the day. If you fall and break your leg in an accident on the 2nd of April you just put it down to an accident but if it happens on Friday 13th you notice the date and know the myth of it.

friday the 13th can be any sort of day that it wishes in my opinion, it is another day. Though the beautiful Moon that is standing high in the sky at the moment is breath taking. Luna is showing her beauty tonight.

Friday: Fraya's day a woman's day.
13 number of moons in a year.

Friday the 13th a powerful goddess day.

Any question why the Christians have issues with it?

I believe you mean Freyja which the following link has many of the alternate spellings of her name.

It's also contested that Friday could be named for Frigga.
