Free Will vs. Destiny

Free will and destiny many people have different view and ideas apon the subject. I personally believe in free will over destiny because yes people say it was destined I happen this way but along the line you must make choices at some point in your life. Even people who believe in destiny say you have to choice the path to take which would go against destiny because if everything was based on destany then the choice you make is irrelevant. So I think free will is the way because some people are born with natural talent or the ablility to be very smart work hard and end up successful and yet some are born with the natural talent of ability to retain yet don't work hard still end up successful so free will allows you to make your own choices and if you are blessed with what you have and it works for you then it does! If it was destiny for you to go to hell or heaven then why do super religious people spend so much time trying to do everything "right and religious" when where you end up after life is already determined?
