Ive been thinking about this for a while. In every situation, even when we dont think we have choices, we do. Like you can make the CHOICE to stop breathing right now. You have the CHOICE to go to LA and shoot the guy at that restaraunt who was man to you. You have the CHOICE to run out into a busy highway.

Etc.

:blink: Hm ... Yes , well all have choices.
Every second we deal with choices.
Some are hard choices.Some are easy , simple choices .. Like what to eat for breakfast .. :p
I kinda realized we all have choices a long time ago ... I suppose that's what seporates us.We all deal with life and choices a different way...That's why it's called a choice .. we have multiple options .... :blink:
EDIT:
-But I've met a few people who believe that our life is layed out by 'the stars' :blink: (Don't ask me...)
So some people think we don't have choices.The 'stars' layed down our whole life ....

We have choices, but do you honestly think about going down to LA and shooting someone?

I think that if you have something that provokes the choice decision, then that's when you actually do have a choice.

Perhaps what you mean to say, Eggy, is that "fate" does not exist?

I dont see much logic in things. its just a bind to keep humans connected with the world to my eyes.

If fate does not exist it means we are in absolute control of our lives with no boundries :blink: I have these random philisophical thoughts too sometimes. But if someone who belives that God made the universe (me) God created every aspect of our lives meaning he created a future or not?

Trying to understand God's logic is pointless. You just end up with a headache :p

One of the biggest debates in the world is that of how free will and fate can interact with eachother.


Yeah, God is a holy being. How can you understand someone that created the most complex? But philosophy is always fun, could just be about nature or something, not nessecarily god.

However we got here, I think logic just binds with life. I find it hard to understand how logic wasn't created, but it keeps the humans connected. But I think logic isn't what we might state as a limit. So I'm sure theres a way do to anything, we just are not of that knowledge.

We'd never know eh? :(

We could think to ourselves, that choosing to reply to this topic, choosing to eat our dinner, choosing to breathe, is our choice... but how do we know if it's our choice, or if it's fate making the choice for us... but letting us think it was our choice. After all, if fate says "you'll eat your dinner this evening" and I say "well I'm hungry, I'll eat this dinner out of choice" then it's fate is it not? :o


Anyways :p I like to believe that I'm in control of my life. But I generally just go with the flow :)

I don't think the fact that we have choices disproves fate at all though...

Sure, we think that we have the choice but what if the choice has already been pre-determined for us.

I think its us that make it that way. its like if I try to fake sick, I end up sick.

Exactly, we make the choices. For example a son lives the house because he wants to when he was not suposed to. It's not the parents fault its the son fault. People tend to blame there bad decisions on others and on God.

That statement is not true. We can't have choices and/or options when facing death. There no way to prevent death as there will always be a time when you die and money, medicine or nothing but God himself can stop it.

It's like saying your about to die, but your telling "death" to come back at another time. :rolleyes:

You also don't have choices when it comes to authority, aka parents.

Of course you don't :rolleyes:, but once you get older you get more authority. When you are a kid your parents need to guide you, they tell you what to do and not what to do, that way it helps you later in life.

What I think is that we have the choice to do all those things. But 'something' holds us back. It could be the so called 'consence' or what I believe in the holy spirit. (which is the religous way of consence). Which fate decides things for us. Cuase you have that choice there but there is 'something' just there that blocks you from doing it. You know that feeling when you know you can do it....but you just 'can't' do it.

Hey guys, I do not believe that we have choice. The chemicals in our brain and it's construction will react in a certain way to certain situations.
To show you what I mean,, if someone collected every single piece of information about every particle in the galaxy they could then calculate exactly what would happen in the future. There is therefor no random chance.
