If you need a fictional invisible entity to make you feel like you have a purpose, than your life probably really is an empty void of meaninglessness.
How do you know for sure it's empty void of meaninglessness and not an empty void of meaningnessless? Whether you choose the former over the latter or the latter over the former in essence by your estimation it's only a subjective preference. And if it's all subjective anyway, then really than one can conclude it can also be possible that a person's life can be filled with meaningfulness as well, either with a God or a even "fictional invisible entity" - which ever one prefers.
