Answer 2

It sounds like you are concerned if a Fatalistic reality is moving forward? Something that keeps coming and you can't control.
You think that a god or something like a diety has planned everything for you and you have no control?

Well, relax and get ready to hear the good news!

I don't know if you read or believe in the Bible or Holy Scriptures, however, millions do and find comfort in the thought that they have control and the ability to change outcome simply by action.

The early Christians lived in a culture strongly influenced by Greek and Roman ideas of destiny and fate. The so-called Church Fathers, for example, drew heavily upon the works of such Greek philosophers as Aristotle and Plato.

One problem they tried to resolve was, How could an all-knowing, all-powerful God, “the One telling from the beginning the finale,” be reconciled with a God of love? (Isaiah 46:10; 1 John 4:8) If God knew the end from the beginning, they reasoned, then surely he foreknew man’s fall into sin and the disastrous consequences this would bring.

Origen, one of the most prolific of the early Christian writers, argued that one of the important elements to keep in mind was the notion of free will. “There are, indeed, innumerable passages in the Scriptures which establish with exceeding clearness the existence of freedom of will,” he wrote.

Origen said that ascribing to some exterior force the responsibility for our acts “is neither true nor in conformity with reason, but is the statement of him who wishes to destroy the conception of free will.” Origen argued that while God can foreknow events chronologically, this does not mean that he causes an event or that any necessity is placed upon it to happen. However, not all agreed.

An influential Church Father, Augustine (354-430 C.E.), complicated the argument by reducing the part that free will plays in events. Augustine gave predestination its theological basis in Christendom. His works, primarily De libero arbitrio, were central to discussions in the Middle Ages. The debate eventually reached a climax in the Reformation, with Christendom deeply divided.
over the issue of predestination.

When God created the first human, he produced more than just a body with a brain. Further, God did not create Adam and Eve to be mindless robots. He implanted in them the faculty of free will. And that was a fine gift, for “God saw everything he had made and, look! it was very good.” (Genesis 1:31)
Yes, “perfect is his activity.” (Deuteronomy 32:4) All of us appreciate this gift of free will because we do not want all our thoughts and actions dictated to us without ever having a choice in anything.

However, was the fine gift of free will to be used without limits? In directions given to early Christians, God’s Word answers: “Be as free people, and yet holding your freedom, not as a blind for badness, but as slaves of God.” (1 Peter 2:16)

For the common good, there must be boundaries. Hence, free will was to be regulated by the rule of law. Otherwise, anarchy would result.

Answer 3

Definately played out. I forget which show it was but it was something about reality shows and in the season where the girls go to Arkansas Paris says so herself that the directors asked her and Nicole to flirt with all those guys to make things more interesting.
I also think Paris does alot of the things she does and says those things to look stupid on camera because people eat it up.

Answer 4

I think all of those crappy reality shows are played out. A lot of the situations in those shows are just too dramatic to be real

Answer 5

That depends. Is Paris Hilton really reality or just a coked-out no talent wh*re?

Answer 6

Answer 7

Paris Hilton doesnt even live in reality, so how on earth can you record her in it for the viewing public?

Answer 8

I doubt it is reality because these girls aree multi-millionaires. I honestly think that they dont really care about those people(well at least I know Paris Hilton dont care).

Answer 9

most reality shows are scripted, producers sit behind the cameras and throw lines to the talent
