"Christians ask this of atheists all the time, “What would you rather believe that you were created with a divine purpose in life or that you are just a product of random chance?” The idea is to create the false dichotomy that if one were created with a divine purpose, then one is special and magical while if someone doesn’t believe in a god (the Christian God in particular) then one must believe that they were just a product of random chance with no purpose at all and are therefore not special and have no value."
Interesting take on free will and the divine plan/purpose and how they relate. I have never really thought of it in this way. In actuality free will can not exist in this paradigm.
I like the idea of finding my own life path. I want to create my own journey and see where it leads. Whether good or bad, I will have no regrets.
