As I see it life is meaningless and pointless, that I don't see as a bad thing because that means we are free to choose our own destiny, there is noone else that have a say in it. We are free to decide for ourselves.
Freedom is one of the most exhilirating and joyfull feelings I know, religion is in my eyes a mental prison where you are locked up by a way of thinking that simply is not valid in todays modern society where we know for a fact that many of the religious rules are simply wrong.
Happiness steems form the fact that I am free to do what I want with my life, no god or pixie has my whole life written down somewhere before I have lived it yet. A life without freedom is pointless no matter how many gods and santas that have a purpose with my life.
What point is there of living a life that is alredy set from the day you're born to the day you die? A life you have absolulty no influence on. That is among the worst horrors I can think of.

Maybe you didn't read my post correctly I don't belong to any religion I think they are oppresive. And you only read the top part not the bottom part, btw whats the point of choosing your own "Destiny" if when you die it didn't make a difference what you did? Why can't you still have freedom. I used to belong to one of the most oppressive churches ever Latter day saints or Mormons, NO WHERE have they said your life is pre destined, and from what i understand from other religions NONE of them say you life is already chosen for you, you are free to do what you want, you are just held accountable for your actions in the afterlife, you still have freedom, I'm sorry but your arguments are weak.
