Does pre-determination set a goal or mission?
No-it sets everything.
If our lives are pre-determined then all missions and all goals are already set-we just follow the script...
Can we go against it? No
Can we follow another path? Follow any path you seem to choose; Destiny has been there before you!
Hmm, ok, then my idea of destiny/predetermination was correct, just checking.

Again, to me the would make my life pointless...if everything is set and decided and we only had the illusion of control, what's the point? That's why I said it would make me too passive, thinking about it again I'd probably shoot myself.

I personally will not believe this to be true. I believe in myself, although I'm not sure about the rest of you...!
Glad to hear that! *grins*

And honestly, predetermination wouldn't make sense at all anyway...unless you believe that you're in the Matrix or something ...who would be able to plan all of this? Is God a bored computer game programmer?

Nah, I stick with my practical approach...if I believe I'm in control I'll probably strive to make the most out of my life - there's no one to blame, but me!

You sound like my sort of person!
I'd make you read Antigone then set you an exam.
Any wrong answers and...
And...? *big grin* Might just be worth it...
