Destiny vs. Providence

Almost every culture has some form of astrology. People have always wanted to know why things happen. What forces are controlling my life and the universe? Outside of monotheism people have turned to astrology to explain why things have happened. Sorcerers and shamans were consulted to find out the future. Destiny was the determining factor in life. Within Christianity superstition can disguise itself as faith. Superstition is a trust in these forces of the universe that determine life. Nowadays people who reject faith and astrology and any organized religon will express their superstion by believing in "Karma." Be nice to others and good things will happen to you. Be mean and bad things will happen to you. People who hold this view are supposed to be very enlightened. They don't need religion to teach them. the whole moral law is summed up in the phrase, "What goes around comes around." This is the law of the uncreated universe that governs our destiny.
