RE: If Life is Meaningless Anyway, then What's Wrong with Religion?

I wouldn't say life is meaningless so much as that meaning isn't arbitrarily assigned by some outside force. We are free to assign our own meanings as we see fit.

Societal conventions notwithstanding.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

If you're claiming that all species other than humans are vital to the ecosystem, please explain.
In other words, you have no idea wth you're talking about.
you're the one that objected to my statement.

As I have already explained my position, if you have some evidence that proves what I said is wrong, then present it; Otherwise sit down and shut up.
You atheists tend to excel at disagreement while being unwilling to provide any answers of your own.

Lol we just demand evidence for unsubstantiated claims and watch you implode.
Life is like the SATs. It's better not to answer a question than take a wild guess and get it wrong.

Here is an answer from an atheist Huggy, I don't care, I'm not scared, I don't give a fuck what your stupid fucking book says, I don't give a fucking fuck. so in short I'm not interested in your fucking shit.

What I said could be easily substantiated, apparently you think so to since you disagree.
So I'm asking WHY do you disagree... Got it?

Here's the part you failed to understand. Why does a system of interacting organisms entail that all organisms play an essential role in the operation of the system? You're the one claiming all species other than humans are essential. What essential role do cuttlefish play, pray tell? Would the entire ecosystem collapse if they went extinct?
I love the cuttlefish, I should mention. But you should stop this nonsense. The ecosystem is natural and undesigned and in no way dependent on every species.

@Huggy
Then substantiate it.
