tspikes,
Thank you for the personal attack.
With regards to predetermination, you're right. I got the word mixed up.
I do know what I'm talking about. The fact that someone called Rick Warren wrote a book saying that "God has a plan for you" is entirely irrelevant. I was born a Catholic (as were millions of others) and we do NOT believe God has a plan to each of us. As I said earlier, the concept of free will is fundamental to (the vast majority of) Christian churches. Free will implies that it is up to the individual to decide what they do, where they go, how they act etc.
The whole idea that God has a "plan" for everyone is anathema to a lot of Christians.
Please come down off that soap-box, lose the airs and graces, and keep your nasty remarks to yourself.
Mr Mephisto
