The problem with this belief is:
>If there is no free will, then there is no right or wrong. If there is no free will, then God created war, rape, murder, torture, famine, and all the other horrors that humans voluntarily commit.
Fatalism would presuppose the entirety of "The Plan" is ineffectual at the goal of awakening humanity for future generations to make the choices needed to progress self-determination. That would mean everything anons have committed to in exposing of the dark/difficult truths that lead others to discovery and realization really serves no purpose. It's like opening the book of Revelation, and going "Welp! Might as well just roll over and die cuz it's going to happen anyway."
And the problem with this belief:
>Having thousands and thousands of lives throughout time having different experiences and lessons learned with each incarnation making you more and more experienced and wise with each one.
Is it would seem that it removes some of the "magic" of humans (and other life on earth) being gifted with the greatest gift of all; giving new life.
Then again:
Experiential eclecticism is an interesting idea, and this is a viewpoint that contradicts with externalizing God, and instead internalizes God. Why would it be necessary, though, to have these experiences in order to find fullness of self and realization of Truth? Is this one of those "Show rather than Tell" takes on Truth, meaning you have to experience it in order to realize it? I'm not sure this is necessary, but willing to explore the idea a bit.
The Truth we can know is no one single religion seems to have it 100% correct from all angles, so it's up to us to attempt a direct relationship with the source of Truth in order to truly advance ourselves, and set an example for those around us. Also that while folks are distracted with these arguments and endorsing specific religions or sects/cults, there are tons of people working as a group (and sometimes against each other) to consolidate power, wealth, and territory while using ideological and other means to divide us. Unity of the masses is certainly key to turning the tides in favor of the The People (worldwide; not just in the USA).
