  3. Because if I pray, He may guide me to the right path, or the prayer just makes me more aware of my decisions. The latter is the rational, true effect prayer has on us. It affects our psyche.
    But what makes his "path" better than the one you wanted to choose? Let's say the path you chose caused a little chaos in your life lol. But at the end of the path, there was light that shined brighter than any other path.

    Would his path still be right? Let's say his path caused you less trouble but it didn't have a marvelous ending compared to the path you chose. Would it still be right?

    As I've said many times, I believe God has created a big cluster of paths for us. Each decision is a crossroads, each consequence is a road. A map of the "life's journey" would look like something you'd get by taking branches from 10 trees, painting them, then slapping a paper with those branches. He wants to see how we fare, and has certain expectations.

    Destiny exists, because all paths are pre-made, but free will exists as well, as we are free to choose from those limitless paths. Karma exists, because a bad choice usually has bad consequences. Taking the wrong turn sends you down a bad road.
    Do these paths also including the paths that other people take?

    For example, say if someone was drinking and driving. They could of chose to stay home or go to a party. They decided to go to a party, they drank too much and chose to drive home instead of taking a taxi. The drunk driver crashes into another car, killing everyone inside that vehicle.

    The people inside that vehicle had a choice to either stay home or go out and enjoy the night. Because their paths crossed, it resulted in them losing their lives. Now was that pre-made as well? Did the people that lost their lives have such terrible karma that the only way they could redeem themselves is by giving up their lives?

    As I get older I start think that if there is a God. This is all game for him/her/it and they're loving it lol.

    Why? Why not?

    Is it related to grace? I don't keep up with the forum drama.

    Either an art or history museum, working as a museum curator. German language needed though, so I will embark on a 4 month class to learn the language, obtain a diploma and get the job.

    The one foreign language I want to learn.
    Also, art and history are my favored subjects.

    I don't believe in destiny.
    Yep. If anything, Jesus is the only person ever on Earth to have a destiny.

    It's not like I am, Yahweh, or whatever you call The Creator, has designed a life for us that we must live with limited choices, before we are even born.

    I was just about to say that xD

    When I was really young I used to believe in God. There are many beautiful traditions connected to religion here, that I sometimes want to be able to believe... But I can't. I just can't accept that fact that some omnipotent being created the universe and is ruling our lives. It might be possible, but I want evidence. I don't consider myself agnostic though, I'm something different. As much as they were created to spread good, religions have always been a tool, and always will be so. I don't want to be involved in such things. I'm more a spiritual person, following my own morale rules, which are very mixed. I must admit that Taoism has intrigued me as a philosophy, as many ideas of balance are part of my beliefs. I believe Yin and Yang to be the most perfect symbol ever. Karma is not on my list.

    I believe that I must grow as diligent as possible. In that sense, I've made neutral decisions, because I've been led to a path that has made me suffer, and when I suffer, it's another crossroads: illuminate, and grow spiritually, which is a good choice. Be corrupted, and do not grow, or "ungrow", which I consider a bad choice.

    I got in a bad mood from my nightmares last night. If God, or my prayer, caused me to see those nightmares, it was a good thing in the sense, that I got alot to think about again, and grew spiritually a little bit yet again.

    And yes, everyone's paths cross eachother, of course. We're all humans living in the same realm, and we are all capable of making decisions, and understanding the consequences.

    Foolishness hurts people, and doing things drunk that are dangerous even when you're sober is not a wise thing to do. You're asking to get yourself killed. Still, I admit that I'm not sure if there's some RNG determining if you survive a car crash, only get crippled, or survive unscathed.

    There's also the concept of equivalent exchange: to get something, you must give something. Technology has released humanity from lots of effort. Humanity has grown undiligent. Driving a car is really dangerous. One could almost say that we're risking our lives in exchange for fast, easy logistics and travelling.
