Destiny is a reality.

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.Edited by bee, : No reason given.

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 extras

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?

Fuck it, I'm out of here. This guys a kook.

Don't forget to tell us what the little voices in your head are telling you.

Good, great, even funnier than bringing in the devil.Love it.You are destined for a career in stand-up comedy.

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

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?

Have you stopped taking the pills?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.

Then again, you're probably just off your meds.

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.
