alright so you say there is no such thing as fate, yet you say "There are more things to this universe than human's know." Therfore isn't fate just like your definition of god, of "ghod?" This is in the sense that fate's something you can't explain and it's bigger and somethign far beyond the relam of the human mind. It's beyond our capacity to understand as a species. Now people like chrisitians and their ideas on fate are about as accurate as their ideas on evolution and how it doesn't work. Like you and I were talking about earlier, but I think there is a such thing as fate because everything has a reason for happening, and it has something to do with what we can't explain. What would you call that? It surely isn't chance if there's a pattern and if it happens at an exact moment, right when it's necessary.

I think the way that people handle their circumstances & their perspectives can be called "fate".
I mean, if they choose to see it as "fate" instead of a choice they made, out of their own free will, then that is their definition of "fate". I think we determine what we are doing by every single thought that becomes an action & even those that we never act upon. energy=matter. thought energy=matter. when something doesn't manifest, it then literally "doesn't matter".
That's my two cents!
Hey, your basic philosphy sounds very Zen-like, BTW. Check out the I-Ching if you haven't seen or read it yet.

Well, my take on it, Fate is something that is "pre-determined" which means regardless of the choices you make, a particular outcome is meant to happen. Taking away some sort of control.

Fate requires “by definition” two variables.
1- A pre-determined outcome by an unknown force.
2- Pre-determination requires a sentient being that is in control of our destiny.

I do not believe in either

I do believe in Cause and Effect.

There will be a high probability of a certain outcome with certain choices and paths we take.

But “fate” to me seems to be more of an idea. When in essence it is something that either exists or doesn’t exists.

Either every moment in everyone’s lives are pre-determined or they are not.

I guess if you believe in “fate” that puts you on the same level and religious people that believe in a sentient god and or gods that rule in a higher realm.
