I told him that I thought so.
He asked why.
"God has a plan for all of us, we all have a destiny."
"So... what about free will?"
I didn't know what to say. We all make conscious decisions in life from small to important, but if we all have a destiny, that would only imply the decisions we make were pre-determined.
After watching the second Matrix movie, Neo meets with the oracle, and he says that she must already know the decisions that he is about to make. The oracle smiles and says yes, but he had to figure out why he made those choices.
Some people also say, that maybe our fate is only pre-planned to a point which depends on the choices we make. Some people are predictable, which may explain why that is. The choice we make will alter our future. It could have gone one way, but another decision would have changed that. Times are always changing?
Upon returning to our conversation more recently, I've come to the conclusion that I don't mind if I don't have free will. If all of my decisions were already guessed and planned out in a larger scheme of things, I think it is more important to figure why we make the decisions we do. Bad decisions only teach us to make our better ones later. You couldn't have the good decisions without the previous horrible ones. That's what I think.
