    I believe in metaphysical determinism. This metaphysical determinism could encompass both natural processes (eg, A inevitably leads to B) as well as the supernatural (eg, God ordains a special purpose for Moses). Or, it could just be one without the other. Secular folk tend to believe either just the first or neither, whereas religious folk tend to believe just the latter. I think both are true. I suppose what people call fate would be that latter kind.

    However, I'm not 100% as set on this as I used to be. After looking into quantum mechanics, I think there is scope for genuine chance within the universe, which could blow the whole determinism thing out the water.

    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
