It seems...The combination of ideas is challenging.<br /><br />It seems that some sense of belief in Fate (The Fates, wyrd, doom, etc.) is endemic to humanity. It is some external force (or demi-god) that directs certain people to do certain things. Usually things which are legendary or magnificent in scope.<br /><br />It can also be used by many people to excuse (or glorify) their own decisions.<br /><br />Providence seems, in my mind, to be more of a provision than a pre-destination or calling. It is something done to help humans (either specific people, or humanity in general), not a destiny/purpose/goal predicted and assured beforehand by God.<br /><br />Providence is part of a relationship, while doom/fate/wyrd is easy to view as impersonal.<br /><br />Is this the general thrust, or are you going in a different direction?karrdehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00205160745963596856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-50192637428995506402010-01-28T17:06:58.651-05:002010-01-28T17:06:58.651-05:00I had to look up "wyrd"...
