Theists: How can predetermined fate and free will coexist?

[purplepurpose]

I find it really hard to understand how people can think we're important enough for anything outside of our reality to give the slightest shit about us; as a race, let alone individually.

God views humanity as some sort of "crops", according to religious doctrines, ussually. For Him its important, that as much as possible "grains"/humans uphold his standard, by fighting the "good fight". He needs brave actors...


12His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
