Won't our free will mess up gods plan?

If there is not free will then God wants us to do the things we do( steal, lie, murder and abortion) because its part of gods plan and we cant help what god wants us to do.

If there isn't god plan then what is god doing for us now of days and that would prove that everything is random, so there would be no need to pray.

We are wrapping up a year filled with challenges and blessings. I'm interested to know what others think we can do -- as individuals, as a society, as a world -- to make 2007 a year of promise, positives, and possibilities.

If there were no other beings to compare him to prior to his creating man, would he not just be a "being"?---Futhermore, if the term "being" refers to all living creatures, and God was the only living creature, why would it be necessary to have a category with that label?
Why would he be called anything since there are no other gods, and no other creatures for him to be superior to.--It's not like we have to distinguish which creature is him, when there are no other " hims".Why would he need to be identified.
Can you be superior if there is noone to be superior to?

Recently I was travelling in my car, driving back from Diu, U.T. back to gujarat, when my wife who is English, I am Indian, saw a white couple using bicycles to tour the Country, she was amazed and took a photo of the female rider.

This lady overtook us since we had to stop at a sign and shouted at my wife, " WHY ARE YOU TAKING MY PICTURE, AM I A MONKEY, TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE INDIANS WITH YOU"

Did she mean that Indians are Monkeys and that they should be photographed and that Whites are above all.

Can you imagine my feeling, Coming to my country and abusing me (Indians) in that manner, who invited her to come to India. Dont people like her know that India is a free Country now, not a part of the Raj anymore.

Over the Centuries, history will testify, that we Indians regard visitors highly, but have been repaid in such manner.

My quaestion is what should I have done under such circumstances, I am not a violent or an abusive man.

Happy New Year,

I just returned from a chamber music concert that took place in a church. I attended alone and was seated next to a man who snored through much of the first performance. At intermission, he got up and disappeared and then returned for the second performance and promptly fell asleep again and began snoring. The place was packed and there were no other available seats. Since I didn't attend with this man, I didn't feel it was appropriate to nudge him or in some other fashion let him know he was being rude. We were seated in the middle of the church, so motioning for an attendant would also have been inappropriate. I don't know if it bothered the people seated on the other side of him. I didn't think to mention it to the attendant at intermission.

What would you have done, if anything?

I have heard of Delta Phi Gamma or Iota Phi Lambda but what is their purpose and are they respected just as the Historically Black sororities are? Or are these two groups no more than 'wannabe greeks"?
