Fate and Destiny: a philosophy thread

[€uroMeinke]

I guess I was thinking more in the face of the unknown. With faith, you needed trouble yourself trying to figure it out - it is simply God's Will, or workinging in mysterious ways, etc. I guess the rules or moral codes fall out of that in their attempts to put something concrete around those unknowns.

I think the most troubled souls are those that follow whatever dogma (religious or atheistic) without actually embracing those beliefs.

You're right- it's a workout actually wading through the dogma and trying to arrive at a truth that works for you. It's much easier to blindly follow or not question at all. I suppose one can question too much and just wind up confused about everything, but I respect that far more than I do someone who dogmatically sees things in black and white and refuses to even try and look at things differently.
