What do you think?
Does the phrase "everything happens for a reason" suggest that we have no free will, that existence is limited to a series of pre-determined events that are destined to happen no matter what we do?

Stuff happens, and it does not need a reason.
People, however, like to attach mythical qualities to randomness, to avoid admitting they're helpless. It's why man created God.
You can also have all the free will you want, but it does not prevent a guy, from downing a half bottle of vodka, then getting in a forklift, and driving it loaded, on Aurora Ave, where he caused an accident, killing the matriarch of a family.
