I believe that fate is just an idea which comforts some people because they like to beleive that god has already planned out their lives for them. Maybe this doesn't make sense but I guess I just can't comprehend that our life has already been preprogrammed even before birth... |
I don't mean to hate but...
Was it god who told you what power we have over free-will?
Do other living beings not have free-will according to your beliefs? I feel it is ignorant to say that animals do not have the same spiritual importance and meaningfullness as us just because they are not as intelligent, for all we know there is a being in existance that is 100 times more intelligent than us, is it right for him to say we do not have free-will because our i.q. cannot compete with his. Spirituality and inteligence are completely relative even within our own race. And because god is not human if he is real why would he discrminate against all other beings besides humans?
With all decisions come consequences, this does not mean that fate doesn't exist. If fate were real than due to human relationships fates would have to be a infinitely huge web of interactions and consequences from one being to another.
Although I too do not believe in fate it is completely impossible to say it isn't real.
