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 out0 -

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.0

You have to believe in free will...you have no choice in that.0

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!0

lol Not sure if you meant that to be funny, but it did make me giggle a little!0 -
I make the choice to eat junk....or to be thin! I only wish I would have lost the weight when I was younger!!0

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 on0 -

: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!0 -

i do believe that was the plot to a rod serling twight zone episode. lol0 -
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!0

WOW! Just wow! Surely you don't believe all that, do you?
Pedophiles are not monsters?
Serial killers - that's a good thing?
I know you're kidding...or are you?0 -

Until we accept it as a natural part of humans we will never fix the problem.
What they do to children is horrible, What serial killers do is horrible but
Its only natural, they are people just like me and you with kids, mothers fathers.
Its not there upbringing, they are not born with the devil in them its just one fo those little things evolution does.
until we allow dna testing and modification of babies before birth we will always have this problem.0 -

What she said...plus they're against forum rules.0 -
I actually don't think anyone has gotten ugly or rude, people have so far just shared their opinions and have actually helped me see the other side of my own opinion! I don't see how a simple question of opinion is against forum rules, I didn't ask anyone to defend their religion or anything of the sort, I just asked for opinions. And I thank everyone who has offered theirs.0

It's called free will. We choose everything in our life and what road to take. Unfortunately we don't have a self instruction book on careers, marriage, etc etc. I do believe God already knows what will happen in our lives and hopes we will trust and believe in him and everything will fall into place. Good luck.0

Just my point above, We are semi civilised. We can go to the moon and live in large groups in a semi civil way.
But we are just more complex animals.0
