Oedipus was destined to his fate‚ free will allows him to make decisions that make seem as though he could avoid his destiny‚ he was foretold his fate and he tried to avoid it.

I’m actually not a huge fan of organized religion myself. Like most things‚ it has its good and bad points‚ but overall‚ anything that brings people to God is great. However‚ you
