I request that the topic of atheism be dropped from this thread.
It's something that I've always wanted to talk about, but I'm not ready to do it in this thread. In a different thread, I'll do it. But not here.
The topic is: Fulfilling your Destiny.
And I'm sorry if I seemed like I'm insulting you. I was just being honest. And of course, my thoughts are my own. I acknowledge that I could be wrong, even though I don't believe it to be the case right now.

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.

Re: Destiny 101
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.
Edited by bee, : No reason given.

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

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

Re: Destiny 101
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.

This just goes to show how foolish you guys are.
You attempt to diagnose someone based off of his choice of words from the internet.
You stoop to his level when he starts bullshitting people.
You cuss more than he does.
And most importantly, you just won't accept the fact that some people are simply better than others.
Anybody want to start a debate about abortion? I am for it.

Re: Personal Destiny
You got it right. You pretty much took what was in my mind and put it properly on text, in a way that the others would've been able to understand better, compared to my vaguer statements. lol. Thanks.

Re: Personal Destiny
It's almost making sense. Not completely yet, but I'm getting it.
So like, I actually believe the latter. God Himself, in my opinion, determines what we should do. And then, either we do what we should do, thereby fulfilling our destinies, or we don't, thereby not fulfilling and ending up becoming miserable losers.
For example, I genuinely believe that I, Bee Brian, am destined to be a leader of sorts. I exaggerate things by saying, "OMG, I CAN RULE THE WORLD! TROLLOLOLOL" But in a way, it's sincere.

Re: Personal Destiny
The two things that you mentioned, now that I think deeper into it...
Here's what I think...
Believing that your purpose is the way it is because God said so is equal to UNHATCHED EGG.
Believing that your purpose is the way it is because God's creations determined so (like you got traumatized, inspired, promoted, etc) is equal to BABY CHICKEN.
To go even further, believing that you yourself determines your purpose is ROOSTER/HEN.
There comes a point in a person's life where he or she thinks, "You know what? It's about time I take responsibility for my life." However, I think it takes a TREMENDOUS amount of maturity for that person to say something like that and mean it.
I'm just a 23-year old man. I'm not a sage. Therefore, I'm an unhatched egg.

Re: Personal Destiny
Okay, now we can at least move forward a little bit in the discussion. Sometimes, getting an understanding of what the other is saying takes time, no need to resort to making random comments that do not further the discussion, ya know?
Using your example of you were destined to lead...What if you got a job leading (either a large corporation, a country, or even the world), but found that the job did not fulfill you in any meaningful way? Would you remain in the job because it was your destiny (which you stated was preordained by God) or would you rather live a purposeful and happy life finding something that you do actually enjoy?
Using my music example for myself. If it was God's intention that I become a band director in High School, am I not refusing his supposed destiny because I found it unenjoyable in practice? In this scenario, is my purpose still what I had felt strongly it was for over twenty years, or am I actually changing my own individual purpose/destiny by deciding that happiness in a career is more important than following a preordained plan? This change in a plan should, according to you, leave me unfulfilled and ending up miserable, yet the actual task I had strived to achieve was making me miserable already. In this scenario.....how does one know it is their destiny/purpose from an outside source outside of hindsight when they actually achieve happiness?
I'll use myself again as an example.
In a school, I was a class representative and teacher assistant. I was also the Volleyball coach.
But I'll focus on the former two here...
I was, in a way, MISERABLE when I had those jobs. I had to deal with incredibly immature people of my own age group. I had to be the more grown up person in order to do my job.
But although I was "miserable," I was very fulfilled.
I think I should've differentiated pain and a lack of pleasure against misery. Misery is bad, pain is good. Pain makes us stronger.
Pain is when our wives nag at us, yet we tolerate it, because we know that this beautiful woman is the same woman who will give us warmth and love... and lots and lots of pleasure.
See it yet?

Re: Personal Destiny
I don't buy into it myself.
I believe (coming from a Christian's perspective) that the only person who is actually that mature is Jesus Himself, and God, if you consider Him to be a "person."
In other words, there are only two Roosters in the Universe. God and Jesus.
