So I'm not a highly religious person, but I do believe that each person chooses their own destiny and that each person chooses their own path in life based on the decisions that they make. What do all of you think? Does God choose our paths in life for us or does he just assist us down the path that we choose for ourselves?

    Its amazing to me people can even think god guides them or even listens.

    If god is all powerful and everything that goes wrong is gods will. Why are religious people so self obsessed that they think god will change his plan for you ?

    Also why does he hate anyone born in a 3rd world country.

    We need to get over the idea before we can sort the world out

    If I were an alien superior race and I wanted to strip-mine a planet for precious metals, I would fabricate a religion and pose myself as a god to recruit the indigenous population into a subservient work force, while giving them the illusion of 'free will'. Just sayin... that's what I would do.

    You have to believe in free will...you have no choice in that.

    This is not about religion in my view and I never said "God guides us". I'm always just curious about what different people think about different things. I don't have my feelings hurt by differing opinions and I'm not trying to fight with anyone or force my view on anyone else! No one needs to be ugly or rude about this, it's not a question of religion to me, just one of opinion!

    Im just talking as if he did exist.
    Religion was nice it kept us going but really we have passed god.
    Im all for people having coping mechanisms for the fact we have no purpose in this world.
    but its starting to get in the way of things, At some point we need to grow up as a species and get over religion.
    No punishment, No right no wrong

    Pedophiles are not monster but evolved because mating sooner means more kids with your genes
    Serial killers exist because it was a good thing to have to pass on your dna.
    homosexuality is just slight bugger up in the brain, most animals have homosexual tendancies.
    No evil, No devil just evolution

    When we can get past this and accept it we can move on

    :flowerforyou: Thank you! This is all I'm looking for, I'm not looking for a big long battle of religion or opinions! I think like you ^^ do, I make my own choices and choose my own path in life...as much as I hate it, I made the decision to be overweight for all those years and I made the choice a few weeks ago to not be overweight anymore!

    I just asked because this topic relates to something that has recently happened in my life and a huge difference of opinion between myself and someone I care about, so I was just looking for the opinions of unbias third parties, not a religious discussion!
