gloomy and untrustful doesn't necessarily mean you can't be happy
trust me, i'm a cynic
and yes, cynicism(sp?) can lead to bitterness, but is not necessarily related
idk i guess i just don't take it to have an implicitly negative connotation |

Ok, well you just continue being bitter and unhappy and proclaiming that things such as God and Destiny and Fate don't exist... and I'll go on being fantastically happy with my own life and beliefs. :) |
youre making assumptions without any evidence. i am neither bitter nor unhappy. mildly amused at the utter bull you cretins might choose to swallow, but thats all.

Judging by the tone that's apparent from his words, I'd say he, himself said he was bitter. He spazzed out and went off on a tangent about how there are billions of people and species in the world, how dare I think that my life is special... way to attack someone for simply saying it gives people hope. |
not a spazz out. just thinking your position lacked credibility or forethought is all.

Believe what you want - but there's never any reason to knock on other peoples beliefs... especially if A) they aren't even remotely trying to push their beliefs on you, and B) it makes them happy. |
then whats the point in having a discussion at all then? this thread is about the existence (or lack thereof) of fate. if you cant question, learn from, debunk or refine somebody elses position, why bother ever having a conversation ever?

What the do you care what I believe in? Focus on yourself! |
keep your beliefs to yourself then. by posting on a forum you make your beliefs an open target for anyone. if you cant handle a discussion that is critical of your position, then dont post them.
now, justify your belief in faith and destiny. tell me how they work, how they intermingle and relate to concepts of free will. im all for different opinions, but i want to hear logical and well-constructed beliefs when dicussing immeasurable notions like destiny. |

frustration, amusement or annoyance with people's gullible nature or their tendency to believe in fantastic notions devoid of any evidence does not make me bitter. |

Why did it lack credibility? I wasn't trying to make a believer out of anyone? Usually when someone asks a yes or no question, you answer yes or no. Not yes, and here's a list as to the reasons why. I don't need your approval ;) I've never been one of those people who feel the need to "prove" why I believe the things I do. What happened to make me believe in something, is none of your business. ;)

Who said I can't handle it?

:stongue:
Do you go around commanding people in real life? I would love to see that. Again, the thread beginning said "yes or no" Not "yes or no and explain your answer". :)
And I don't give a what you want to hear. I could give a flying if you believe in fate or destiny. I believe, you don't. I have reasons, and I honestly don't feel like it's necessary to divulge in personal matters on the internet with a stranger, just because you said so.
So stuff it already.

Why should that bother you though? Other people's beliefs have no effect on your life. Basically you're admitting how weak you are by choosing to be intolerant to things that have nothing to do with you. Way to go. |
