Meaningfulness v meaninglessness; theism vs atheism;

Meaningfulness v meaninglessness; theism vs atheism;
So I'm curious... aww that spark of wonder, it seems to me that there are two worldviews out there with a high view of reason. One states that there is love, there is beauty, there is meaning. The other states, that in truth there is no love, beauty or meaning, these things are actually the result of material interactions etc. The only love, beauty and meaning are actually just a lie that we believe because it feels good (which is ultimately irrational, but who cares right?). This always boils down to Theism (in its broadest sense) and atheism in its material sense.

The point of all this rambling is to arrive at a Cross roads between meaningfulness and meaninglessness. Why would anyone choose to accept a reality void of meaning? Christianity, especially Catholicism, is not irrational. In fact, Reason is strongest when it flows from the Ultimate Reason; reason is stronger within Catholicism than it is in any other worldview, especially atheism.

So why choose to believe that there is no meaning, when there is such a BEAUTIFUL system given to us by the God-man Christ, which is so meaningful?

In Christ
