Please demonstrate to us that there is such a 'grand' meaning.
How do you even know, that the grand purpose the god you believe exists, has chosen for you, is even in your best interests?
It's kind if strange to me, that the vast majority of people would rebel if their: college was chosen for them, their major, their career, their spouse, where rhey are going to live, hiw many children they would have, etc, were all chosen for them.
But they seem perfectly ok with a god choosing their purpose for them.
A dictatorship, even if run by a benevolent god, is still a dictatorship.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
