Destiny, I believe, exists. But I also believe strongly that not everyone fulfills their destinies.

Those who do decide to fulfill them, live a rich and meaningful life...

You have to overcome a simple problem. I can merely say:

"Destiny, I believe, doesn't exist"

You now have to demonstrate empirically that it does.

Secondly, how can a destiny that is unfulfilled be a destiny, and how would you know anyway?

I wish you luck with this one.......

Maybe my words carry more weight than yours?

I think it to be true. Therefore, it is likely that I speak the truth.

I think it be not true etc etc.

Can you see that you're only offering a personal opinion which can be no more valid than mine? You can't make an argument like this.

A destiny that is unfulfilled is not destiny.

So how do we know when a destiny is fulfilled and when it isn't?

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.

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.

Re: Destiny 101

I admit that would explain a lot.
