Everybody who I have seen who believes in fate is kidding themselves if they also believe themselves an atheist. They “believe” in fate. They have conversations with fate. They even bargain with fate. It is a deity for them. You might be different but you certainly don’t sound like it.

oh, Chuck, try reading Francis Schaeffer, especially “The God Who Is There”
Assuming you are open to a logical approach to Christian apologetics, you may find it eye opening or at least an interesting read.

Rational Logical Christianity? Is that a new branch?

Rick

Enjoy your beliefs. I am happy to be a rational logical Christian.
To boil it down you can neither prove nor disprove the existence of anything, it all comes down to initial conviction hopefully (In those of us who rever logic and rationality) a progression of listening thinking and taking the most logical steps from that point.

If you can prove your own existense then you have done better than the greatest philosophers. Proving or disproving the existence of a diety is just a waste of time. Believe or believe in non belief and enjoy the season

Merry Christmas

I accidentally deleted this comment - instead of hitting “edit” I hit “delete.” It’s very good:

Comment:
I’ve often felt that it was all up to fate and uncertainty too.

But as time went by I came to realize how much of what I have, as well as what I
have to be thankful for, is a direct result of the actions of others. Not just
from family, mind, but from numerous friends as well, many spread out all over
the country. I’ve also come to realize how the quality of living where I reside
is a result of the work of countless other people I don’t even know.

This is enough for me to conclude that our good fortune comes in part from the
sum of the actions of all the people who came before us, many of them immigrants
or the children/grandchildren of same, all working towards a better life for
themselves, and by extension for the rest of us.

In my opinion, any notion of appreciating or being thankful for where we are and
what we have should recognize our common link as Americans, in addition to
appreciating the fickle vagaries of fate.

Merry Christmas everyone!

One thing that being an Atheist has taught me - or maybe it was more of a revelation - perfection, in various forms, is attainable.

Excellent post Rick. It never ceases to amaze me that ‘believers’ don’t seem to understand just how much atheists revere and truly love life.
