Answer 1

The Fates
Links to all Group Deities
The Fates, were the three sisters that controlled the destinies of all mortal mankind from birth to death. Their father was the dark element of Tartarus, named Erebus; their mother was Night. Each of the three sisters was given a task that represented the lives of men and women, spinning a thread of gold, silver, or wool; now tightening, now slacking and at last cutting it off. One sister, named Clotho, the youngest, put the wool around the spindleand spun the thread of life. This determined a person's life. The second sister, named Lachesis, measured the thread once it was spun. She determined how long a person should live. The third sister, Atropos, cut the thread. Once she cut the thread, the person was dead. As Zeus became a stronger god, both in mythology and in the everyday lives of people, it was determined that he alone decided how long a person should live, making the Fates more minor in importance. In other accounts, it is said that even Zeus could not interfere with the decisions of the Fates.

The Fates were assisted by the god Hermes in the creation of the Pelasgian alphabet. They also helped the Olympian Gods on more than one occasion. They supported Zeus in his battle against Typhon by giving the monster poisoned fruits to eat. However, they were willing to help Hades when he protested to Zeus that Asclepius had revived a dead Hippolytus, hence negating the powers of both the Underworld and the Fates.

Answer 2

As a Christian, I say you raised a very good point. There are too many people not practicing what they preach. You should take into consideration though that many of these babies are born or aborted by young girls, who generally are not the ones doing the preaching. I am a pro-life Christian who feels that Americans should be smart enough and moral enough to not have so many unwanted pregnancies, regardless of what your religious beliefs are. It isn't good for society, the mothers or the babies. I also know that people are not perfect, even Christians, but we could do better. God Bless.

Answer 3

The Fates:

The three Moirae were:

* Clotho (pronounced in English ['kləʊθəʊ], Greek Κλωθώ — "spinner") spun the thread of life from her distaff onto her spindle.
* Lachesis (['lækəsɪs], Greek Λάχεσις — "allotter" or drawer of lots) measured the thread of life with her rod.
* Atropos (['ætrəpɒs], Greek Ἄτροπος — "inexorable" or "inevitable", literally "unturning", sometimes called Aisa) was the cutter of the thread of life. She chose the manner of a person's death. When she cut the thread with "her abhorrèd shears", someone on Earth died.

Answer 4

Moirae-
The three Moirae were:

Clotho (pronounced in English ['kləʊθəʊ], Greek Κλωθώ — "spinner") spun the thread of life from her distaff onto her spindle. Her Roman equivalent was Nona, (the 'Ninth'), who was originally a goddess called upon in the ninth month of pregnancy.
Lachesis (['lækəsɪs], Greek Λάχεσις — "allotter" or drawer of lots) measured the thread of life with her rod. Her Roman equivalent was Decima (the 'Tenth').
Atropos (['ætrəpɒs], Greek Ἄτροπος — "inexorable" or "inevitable", literally "unturning", sometimes called Aisa) was the cutter of the thread of life. She chose the manner of a person's death. When she cut the thread with "her abhorrèd shears", someone on Earth died. Her Roman equivalent was Morta (a name apparently borrowed from the Greek Μόрτη Mortē "destiner"; not to be confused with the minor Roman god Mors "Death").
