I think you overstate things a bit bringing American philosophy into what is in essence a question of individual free will. I would ask you to revisit your beliefs regarding what freedom means.

If I am a religious person, then I may counter your positions and say that my soul belongs to God to do with as He may, but my life and the consequences of my decisions and actions are my own.

I once thought as you seem to, but have gone through too much lately that has challenged my beliefs and thinking. I may come back to something closer to your position, but I doubt that I will view things quite the same way as I did.

Suffering, my own, that of others and my empathy for them, has tempered my judgments and reminded me that there but for the grace of God, go I.

The truth remains the truth no matter what you happen to think about it.
