Without free will for things we do and everything appears to be destined by God or nature which is doubted since it is lifeless as aware, humans are pawns. So I just wonder whether it would be better to be treated this way by God whom we could ask when we meet him than the Nature which I doubt we can as it is lifeless and without a personality. How would nature face us and what are us which is soulless. In such condition we are just living carcases.

"If I submit to God, I’ll just become a puppet!"
"A brilliant young man questioned Dr. Henrietta Mears about surrendering his life to God. He was convinced that becoming a Christian would mean the destruction of his personality, that he’d be altered in some strange way, and that he’d lose control of his own mind. He feared becoming a mere puppet in God’s hands.
"So Miss Mears asked him to watch as she turned on a lamp. One moment it was dark, then she turned on the switch. She explained, ‘The lamp surrendered itself to the electric current and light has filled the room. The lamp didn’t destroy its personality when it surrendered to the current. On the contrary—the very thing happened for which the lamp was created: it gave light.’"

Are you saying that nature is lifeless? That is a ridiculous comment. Your question could also read is it better to be controlled by nature than by a belief in an imaginary god?

I have absolutely no idea what you are asking, it could be anything, you could ,in a round about way, be asking me to burn a church and I'd never know. You'd make a great politician.
