Predestination.
How completely boring, and unimaginative is that? To believe that EVERYTHING is predestined? I don't know. I used to believe in it. And I still believe that EVERYTHING happens for a reason, but I do not believe that everything is predestined. I think that things change, courses redirect through choices and happenstance.
What is the point of living a life, no matter the length, if we're already predestined to do whatever it is we're supposed to do??
And ... just another thought. Does that mean that rapists, murderers, criminals of every sort are predestined to be that way? Or is it through events and choices that made them such?
And what about the amazingly beautiful handicapable? Was it predestination that decided that they would be frowned upon and ridiculed throughout their lives? How is THAT fair? I just...I don't see how God...ALL loving that He is...would predetermine someone to that kind of life. Truthfully, it hurts me, to the very core, to know that people think that God would do that. Oh they would never admit it, but acceptance and belief in predestination is just that.
And as a side bar, I truly believe that it's us "normal" people who are the ones that have the handicaps.
To simply love, it's a gift. One that many of us do not have.
Okay. Off my box. Just heard someone say something that made me think about this.
