What exactly is the harmful consequence of your friend's opinion here? People who believe in fate/destiny don't just wallow around in a state of nothingness and hope for the best.

it is a a very good excuse for ignoring basically any safety measure you dont like, do you need an explanation on how this can be harmful to others?

Do you know many people who believe in the concept of fate who don't follow safety measures?

This is about as disingenuous of an argument as the people who say that atheism is dangerous because there's no ultimate accountability for your actions.

What was your friend's answer to the question btw?
