Why do people think that's a depressing thing? Being born into a existence without meaning and purpose just makes an infinite number of possibilities available to you. You have the ability to form your own meaning or purpose. Your life never has to be dictated by anything, no path is already set for you, no one controls which road you decide to take. A meaningless and purposeless existence is really just the invitation to create meaning and purpose.

Let me put it in perspective if you were to say the opposite of that, then does that mean in a world that may have really been created by God is he an all controlling being who dictates everything that will occur in my life, who forces purpose and meaning into my life, whether or not it was truly my desire.

It's not that I give a ****, you think an atheist life without meaning is depressing and dark but I think a life with forced meaning and dictated fate is depressing. Really I guess what I'm trying to say is if tomorrow God descends right in front of me for all to see and tries to tell me what **** i will and wont do. I'm gonna kick him in the balls and be smited or whatever crazy **** that guy does.

Thats not how I see it. For me, a God created all this and left us to do anything we want. Thats why people always complain "Uhhh If god exist why not stop wars? lololol" and the reason why evil exists because its the people who do evil not God who forces them to do it. God doesn't force anything, and thats why (I THINK) you can't prove it with human science. Ofcourse, when you want to enter Heaven, he will judge you on your deeds because thats HIS domain and he decides the rules like we make our own rules here.
