Destinism
"Let no man ever tell you that you must have only science. Or only magic. Or only faith. For that man might be the devil himself "
Or do you think it has a greater scope? Do you think we may get Destinians in the future?
Personally, I find it as something to get philosophies and the like from. I quite like the ideas put forward by this fictional religion.

Sorry guys. I just realised that we can't get destinians. Because this book unlike the HP or PJ series doesn't pretend to exist. It's pretty clear that voulhire doesn't exist, making it clear that magic, caromentis, and everything else in this book (except for the messages and lessons it conveys) is a doesn't figment of the author's imagination.Fasmin wrote: ↑23 Oct 2020, 12:23 What do you think about Destinism?

Besides, even though it is clearly fictional, the author still tells us some of his ideologies in a way, or at least his thoughts. I don't think it is possible to write and not put a bit if yourself in the book.
But, what do I know? Lol.

I don't think "destiny" as in your fate is preplanned is real though. Finding your talents and following them is real and necessary for a happy life. But " our fates have already been decided", I don't think so.Ndiviwe wrote: ↑28 Dec 2020, 01:13 I think I like the idea of following your destiny and believing whole-heartedly you following your destiny. I don't think this will ever be a religion in our world because we are too hands-on in making our futures a certain way without even considering what our destiny was supposed to be in the first place.
I actually think we do decide our destiny ourselves. We are the ones that land ourselves in hardship or prosperity whether knowingly or not.
But I guess this is a debatable topic.

Destinism is apparently an incorporation of varying beliefs, and this religion remains malleable. Although Destinism wasn't established in our world, many people today have similar belief with Destinism's religion.Fasmin wrote: ↑23 Oct 2020, 12:23 What do you think about Destinism?
