Bargaining with Fate

You can't bargain with Fate. Fate happens, will ye, nil ye.

You can bargain with people. To some extent. But in the end, not really; each person will ultimately make their own decisons, for reasons that in the final analysis are as external to you as the reasons a tree grows. Fate.

Is this where religion comes from? The urge to find someone to bargain with? Someone as mysterious, as powerful, as benevolent as your parents should have been, when you were a kid?
