Question

In the sweep of history, we find many human cultures that believed in some version of fatalism. For people in these cultures, the notion that future events are fated or unavoidable was not a puzzle to be solved, but an aspect of life to be accepted. Why did the idea of fate become a problem in the context of theism-in other words, why might some religious believers reasonably view fatalism as a "threat" that needs to be dealt with? (Make sure to explain what both "fate" and "fatalism" mean in your answer.)
