I use the word Destiny as a substitute for the word Purpose.
I'm not talking about Clairvoyance or Fortune. I'm talking about a path that one chooses. I should have made that very clear in the beginning. I apologize.

Alexander was miserable because he resorted to base pleasures instead of getting a meaningful hobby, like, you know, writing poetry, making sculptures, blacksmithing, whatever. Of course, I'm talking about the time when he was on top of the world and conquered the most lands (before Genghis Khan wooped his ass as far as who conquered more. Not literally in war against each other).
I never knew Napoleon had hemmorhoids. I'll look that up. And no. Men who build nations do not fuck up the world. They define it. I know it's their destiny because I'm a True Christian, and people who are in my level of enlightenment can see the Matrix. You won't understand until you get at least close to our level.

So how does anyone know what their special purpose is?
Even if we allow hindsight, what are the markers of somebody who has achieved their purpose? What happens when one achieves his special purpose? Do they get to reroll on Purpose Chart(6b)? Have you really thought this idea through? Edited by Larni, : DVD extrasThe above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer. -Attributed to Buzsaw Message 53 The explain to them any scientific investigation that explains the existence of things qualifies as science and as an explanation-Attributed to Dawn Bertot Message 286 Does a query (thats a question Stile) that uses this physical reality, to look for an answer to its existence and properties become theoretical, considering its deductive conclusions are based against objective verifiable realities.-Attributed to Dawn Bertot Message 134

bee writes: I use the word Destiny as a substitute for the word Purpose. Yes, I am aware of how you are using the word. How do you differentiate your "Purpose" before the fact? Or, like Destiny, is it merely in hindsight that you can see that all decisions prior led to toward a certain outcome? If you are enjoying your path, as I was with music, how are you sure that this is the proper Purpose without rational exploration of the evidence and where this path will take you? In this case, how are you not basing your ideas on previous experience? When I wanted to work in music, I was absolutely sure I would do nothing else. However, I had never experienced the politics that are involved with teaching High School kids and it quickly absorbed the enjoyment from the work. What is the difference between Purpose/Destiny and making rational decisions for one's future based on previous experiences that an individual has had in this world? The theory of evolution by cumulative natural selection is the only theory we know of that is in principle capable of explaining the existence of organized complexity. - Richard Dawkins Creationists make it sound as though a 'theory' is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night. - Issac Asimov If you removed all the arteries, veins, & capillaries from a person’s body, and tied them end-to-endthe person will die. - Neil Degrasse Tyson What would Buddha do? Nothing! What does the Buddhist terrorist do? Goes into the middle of the street, takes the gas, *pfft*, Self-Barbecue. The Christian and the Muslim on either side are yelling, "What the Fuck are you doing?" The Buddhist says, "Making you deal with your shit. - Robin Williams

You are destined for a career in stand-up comedy.Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

I feel that my destiny is to rule the world.
But again, I could be wrong. I just feel it.

It's instinctive, and requires lots of belief not just in God, but in oneself. What if your destiny is to believe in Vishnu, or no gods at all? What if your destiny is to discover that gods are all invented by men?

It's pretty clear by now that your answer to every challenge is simply "because I say so." If you can't start building a coherant case for your position you're going to get dismissed pretty quickly as a fruit-loop - we see a lot here.Life, don't talk to me about life - Marvin the Paranoid Android "Science adjusts it's views based on what's observed.Faith is the denial of observation so that Belief can be preserved." - Tim Minchin, in his beat poem, Storm.

Ever thought of the possibility that maybe I'm God Himself?

I admit that would explain a lot.

I am not God.
I am the Angel Gabernicus sent by God to the Internet to see how His people are doing as far as what they believe. I don't think my Master will be pleased. But then again, who am I? I'm just a demigod. Not God Himself.
