Writer's Block: Destined for greatness
[Error: unknown template qotd]
I do not believe in a mythical creature called "god". I believe that religion is man's way to explain things which he otherwise cannot. While it's true there's still an awful lot about the universe we don't understand, or can't yet explain, it's ridiculous to just brush all that aside by covering one's ears, tightly closing one's eyes, and chanting "God did it! la la la la!"
I believe in ESP and psychic phenomena. I also believe there are an awful lot of charlatans out there who use that to prey on the needy and the lonely. I believe in such things because, as I said before, there's still an awful lot which we can't explain. The fact we can't explain certain things doesn't mean that ghosts aren't real, or that the future can't be predicted.
I think we make our own choices. I don't believe that things are "predestined". Life events might push us one way or the other, but it's ultimately up to us to decide our fate. If things were "predetermined", we'd never have a reason to question our actions or our decisions. We'd already know the "right" path to take. "Bad judgment gives us experience. Experience gives us good judgment."
