God isn't supposed to be "pulling all the strings like a puppet." The christian philosopher Augustine introduced us to the importance of "will." In fact, a big part of religious philosophy is making our OWN choices and dealing with the consequences.
Also, you gain purpose. The purpose suggested by Augustine is that we were created to "love and be loved." Hell, that's better than being a shitstain on the universe. I'm not saying I totally believe in divine intervention, but it sure seems a lot of a lot better.
