Destiny and Fate

---

I was just wondering; how many of you believe in destiny and fate, as in we're destined to be someone in the future, and it's already been chosen by the higher powers, or that one God watching over us?

I used to believe in it myself, that all our decisions were planned beforehand but it still felt like we were the ones making them, until recently. Also, do you guys believe in the general God ideal itself? I do. :smirk: I've been thinking a lot about this stuff lately, and I just can't help myself but to bring out a conversation about it. I hope you guys don't mind. :fearful:

I feel like theres stuff im destined to do/be but i feel its in my hands to accomplish that/get there. If that makes any sense at all.

Yeah, that's what I thought too for a long time. I think I get what you mean...Like you can't sit around all day lying on the couch hoping that you're destined to become some big star and wait for it to happen; you've got to try your hardest to become it, and then you become destined for it. Or something around those lines, maybe? That was my perception until recently x.x.Now I just think...Why would that one God up there watching over us make all the decisions for us for the future? Wouldn't that just be too blatant for him? Is there really a point in making a world and a society of a whole series of species if you know what's going to happen to them in the end?So now... I'm thinking that God's testing us in some way, and we don't know how to pass it, because we don't have directions :T. Does that make sense? ><

My life is my own, and everything I do with it is my choice. and I don't believe in a god.

You get what im saying, and i get what your saying to. Maybe he tries to guide us to our destinies thats why its always in the back of our minds? But it doesnt always happen, or something like that.

I feel destined to pursue MMA(Mixed Martial Arts) as a career. Thats all i can really see myself doing, and thats what im destined for. But i know i have to train my ass off, and stay healthy in shape, and pursue it. Like if i sit on the couch it wont happen, but if i really pursue it, it will. Idk thats just my view on it. I feel thats the direction im being guided in.

I dont feel like someone else is controlling me, i feel like im being guided in a certain direction, thats my destiny, now if it actually happens then i guesss thats fate.

Iv typed too much on this shit already to retype it now, go read the post I made today in a thread about death, that sums it all up.go find the old threads on god, on destiny and on fate and the three sisters cutting the threads. witchy bitches anyways.god and his merry band of the holy ghost and JC can go suck a bag of dicks.

If anything or anybody preordained my life, their gonna have a lot of shit to answer for when I catch up with 'em.

That is a shitty attitude ! and a great answer.Imay jsut make it my motto.in high school and for several years after it was if your not wasted, the day is. Iv been with out one for a while, maybe I should start a new church, the devinity of the ass whoopin. include your thoughts for the churches motto. I want 5% for tithings, you can drink swear, fuck who ya like, even what you like so long as its not a child, and i will not care, so long as you promise that if you meet the asshole that preordained my life and yours if you die before me, you whoop his ass good for me.instead of sunday school and mass we will have massive orgy sunday mornings and serve drinks and MJ brownies for sacrament.I never liked wine so we will have to use vodka.Think I can get a license for me new church ? or will they deny me my right?bastards.

Don't worry, I'm gonna be buried with an old gun stock war club so if all the life after death stuff has merit and I get to take it with me there'll be some serious bloody beatin's taken place on the other side. Short of that, I'll be enjoying the rest of endless sleep.

As a Christian who has made good decisions and bad decisions...I have come to the conclusion that the penguins decide my destiny.

nah i just dont belieive at all in destiny. i just dont even think about it lol
but i do belive in god, im a christian. i mean i dont go to church and i certainly am not one of those people that preach about it and shove bibles down someones throat if they say god doesnt exist.

omg dude hahaha are they serious???

as a good christian are you sure your supposed to call a nun a penguin?

Jake and Elwood did, surely they weren't wrong.

My friend Laura was a nun - in the movie, not real life of course. Anywhoo...Wednesday before opening night we were backstage in our costumes and we were acting all amorous and stuff and joking about my making out with a penguin. Then the director came back and yelled at us cause we were too loud.Then the next day my friend Laura was killed in a car wreck. So that is literally my last memory of her. Good memory. Makes me smile.

I'm a christian but, I have a somewhat different set of beliefs then most.

I believe that there is a "general fate" as in things are going to happen one way or another. I believe that the path is set up somewhat like a computer script. Person A. does it. If not See person B. seeing as people are a somewhat infinite resource sooner or later someones going to step up and do what needs to be done.

I believe we are put threw some pretty tough shit. I know I am far from being bad off and I amount to a spoiled bastard. However, I do feel safe in saying I've seen the shit hit the fan. And it hasn't really rattled me.

I believe god allows shit to happen to us that is fucked up however, I don't think he nessicerly approves of it.

Then again I also believe that the biggest screw up christians make is trying to convert other people.

Let the flames begin!
