So please tell us in detail what it means to be an atheist and how is life supposed to be functional without reincarnation or how it just continues to be how it is

Eh? Do you need to believe in the after-life in order to have a functional life?

I just can't believe in the existence of a higher being, who controls our destiny. When you die, thats it.

believing in god doesn't mean he controls you

 

it just makes us understand before creation and after creation realms

Uhmm, don't know dude, its just like I think that if there is a God who created the universe and blah blah blah, its like a person with a giant ant farm. He goes there and poke that. If it is indeed its creation, it was made for its amusement. Thats how I interpret the view from the people who believe in any form of god.

Btw, I really didn't get your point about life.

had you been made for God's amusment, he wouldnt have given you free wil. He wold constantly interact with your life and events in it

BUT then life would be boring

its like destiny where history has already been written but future is new to us and we think we are forming it

Its a matter of persepctive. Either we are like a videogame to God and he can control the characters, or we are like a TV show, in which we are the directors and prodce the plot ourselves
