      I believe less in the fate of the individual and more the fate of people of a whole, every person's existence weaving together like a... blanket, or something. Blanket destiny? And then there's a small subset of people, inventors of the important *kitten* the rest of us use like computers and immunizations to improve the blanket. I probably sound like a crazy person oh well.

      Nope, this will be poofed as well now that it's turned to religion as it should be. Someone just had to report it. Not sure why it went from "fate" to "faith".

      Politics and religion are both against TOS.

      It at least goes back to the ancient Greek belief in the Fates

      Anybody else find it a bit odd that we can discuss believing in God or not, but the mere mention of Trump v Hilary and the thread is gone in a flash? Religion = Good, Politics = Bad. Got it!

      If the thread was titled "God: fact or fiction?" it would be deleted in a second. Since the discussion is buried in a "fate" thread, it will only be locked once someone reports it, or until a mod stumbles upon it. Only a matter of time.

      Beginning to wish I'd never started the thread I just thought it was a interesting thing to discuss
      I never mentioned religion because I'm not religious

      All I know is that the thought that my ideas, opinions and decisions may not be my own or are controlled by some outside source brings me all kinds of anxiety. Thanks OP.

      Some people, erroneously, connect "fate" with God. They are not mutually exclusive. One can feel that the energy of the universe provides a current that they can either flow with or paddle against. In that respect, fate can co-exist along with free will without the existence of a deity. And the existence of a deity could be one that allows total free will, and not predetermination.

      So...

      yeah.

      Well I think your ideas and thoughts are your own but I'd like to think that at times 'fate, the universe or whatever interviens to help you out. Some might call it good luck or good fortune of course bad stuff happens as well but since I'm trying to remain positive I was focussing on the good stuff cos nobody likes bad stuff

      And you're okay of believing that? That you're God is so awesome and perfect that he created all things including lucifer and man and the tree of whatever it was? Sounds like he's playing you coz according to some Christians God knows all past present and future if that is true why did he create lucifer knowing he'll rebel later and why did he made man knowing they'll screw up later and why did he put the tree there in front of their faces and said don't eat it? that's likes dangling cake I'm front of a fat kid's face. In the end your perfect God isn't so perfect after all creating so much imperfect creation anyway that's my take on that deal

      It's funny and sad that someone flagged this.

      The universe gave me an extra medium fry at Wendy's last night.

      Damned universe never did anything for me!

      Well, except that I was born in an industrialized country to reasonably well educated parents, with a decent brain, and my health . . .

      But other than that! I NEED free fries . . .
