Greetings People,
This is my first post and I have an open ended question that I hope you can share your ideas/opinions with me.
Most of the religions do believe in Destiny. My question is just that! There is a paradox in the whole philosophy of Destiny. Do you not agree? When a particular religion believes in God and most of the time they say that your life is mapped out for you within your destiny.
How can this be? Are we not free spirits to choose from what's right and wrong. Whether it's the Tora, Quran or the Bible, we are free to choose and make our own destiny. Otherwise – there is no purpose in existence and every misfortune that comes in our way then we can only blame in God.
Secondly –
If there is a God – then what's his purpose? Is he not egotistical or does he need empowering from our praise to him?
I am standing on an agnostic platform. I strongly believe in Evolution of the species. But at the same time when I look at the complexity and design of the entire Universe then it makes me thing otherwise that there is a designer at hand.

Confucius
