Kinda. The predetermination part is still hanging me up.
On a side note, I was looking at the proverbs of Solomon. No matter what religion you are, these rock. I burden you with some now
"Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs, than a fool in his folly."
"A fool's lips bring him strife, and his mouth invites a beating."
"A fool finds no pleasure in understanding, but delights in airing his own opinions."
"Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife."
I can't think of anything that would be cooler than sitting back in some palace, with Solomon scowling down to his scribes and uttering profundities all day. James Earl Jones should read them, or Chuck Heston, if he's got enough of his wits about him still.
