Which one controls us?

I think a little bit of both. You make a lot of desicions, but sometimes, fate can take over.

I think that God controls my fate. He has to have a plan for me a meaning of life.

I believe that we do make decisions, but I think fate can take over too.

I believe in free will. Everything in this life depends on us and us only.

it's not fate that controls us, but freewill. we choose what we do and therefore seal our fate. which means we shouldn't screw up.

I think our fate is decided by what choices we make with our free will.

i believe in free will. i believe i choose where i go. obviously there are things that are out of our control or with us from birth, (i.e. illness) but decisions are what rule our lives and we choose where we go. and we are responsible for our own actions.

I personally think that free-will controls us.... because... we are free to do what we choose...

Now that I think about it, there is some sort of fate and a purpose of us being here... but it still depends on our actions.
Wow, this reminds of "Macbeth" cause that play kinda sends us a message about the whole fate vs. actions thing.

I think we have the free will to choose our fate. I think we control ourselves, and we have the ability to choose our own fates...

I've alrays been skeptical on the whole fate thing. I believe in free-will and mere coincedence. But if there was fate, then I think that our decisions lead to it.

I think that it is entirely free will that controls us. Of course the actions of those arounds us can affect what we do as well.

I think fate control what we want to do, and free will controls what we will do or how we get to our fate. We see in our minds where we want to be, but free will with our decisions controls whether we get there or not

I guess it's just about how you think about it, that's all. It's not entirely up to fate, cause otherwise we wouldn't need to do anything. I personally don't think it's all free will because there are some things that are out of our control that just happen (i.e. the weather, death, etc.).

I think Fate, or God's plan, gives us paths to follow and free will let's us decide which paths to take.

I beleive it's a little of both
I beleive that fate can take over
but also that we have th free will to control everything and make our own decisions and so on
I think that alot of what we do changes fate
so in a way we can kinda manipulate according to the kinda decisions and risks we take
well thast my opinion anyway

I believe in fate, but I also believe that you can change fate.

I believe that only God knows what will happen, and He lets us make whatever choice we want. So, I guess, in a sense, it's our free will to do as we please, but it's our fate for our outcome to be what God knows; I'm a Christian.
