Gr k mythology told of the
Moirai, or the Fates, thr
go
e es pictured as
weavers of men’s lives.
Their decisions could
not be canceled or
aued, even by
other gods.

From this we get the word
fate. Fate is usuay thought of
as a predetermined course of
events beyond human control.

A typical response to a
belief in fate is resignation. We can’t change
destiny, so why even
try? Whatever ha ens,
ha ens, there’s nothin’
we can do about it.

This is caed “fatalism,”
and it is not biblical.

It is her karma; it
is past punishment
for the evil she did
in a former life.

This view is widely held in the
Hindu religion. It is this fatalistic
view of life that helps k p
India’s caste system in place.

Fatalism is a major premise of Islam,
which demands total submi ion to
the sovereignty of Aah.
