What's in the bag response

I do not believe in fate, yet that of freewill. However, at rare times I do believe that things happen for a reason. As with religion, I do not believe that anyone or anything should have the right to control my life, let alone my entire existence. People do make careless decisions everyday, but that does not neccessarily make them decisions of fate. People do everything out of freewill. For example, is it fate if you drink Gatorade or Powerade at practice every day? No, I should think not. That is merely an action of freewill-because you prefer one thing over another. The one big recurring problem I have with fate is the fact that it means that our lives are entirely set out before us before we can even speak. If we were already born to be sinners, would it really matter how we lived our lives? What would be the point if we knew we were going to die condemned anyway

Although, life is not the easiest thing we encounter, it doesn't mean that fate made it hard or easy. Life is hard so we can grow and build from it. You control your own life. For example, if a person goes to school, studies hard, goes to college, and becomes very successful, it is because he or she got themselves there-it was not fate. Working hard to achieve anything in life does not make it fate at all. Working hard is the action of freewill. You do something because you want to or have to, not because it is your fate to.
