Discussion Post: Fatalism
Overview
Fatalism is based on the Secular Humanist theory that human beings have no true freedom. Because we are only physical beings with no soul our fate and choices will be determined by Physical forces over which we have no control. We can do nothing to change it. Secular humanists would say that the Judaeo-Christian teaching about having Free Will to make choices is a fantasy. Since we are not free to choose we must just accept where we are in life and be satisfied. Since we have no freedom to choose we have no responsibility for our actions.
Do you think many people in our society have developed a fatalistic attitude towards life?
