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

Life is only 'meaningless' in the sense that it doesn't have some external entity or force imposing an objective purpose onto it. I wouldn't want an external force imposing purpose on my life, just like I wouldn't want my parents to pick my major or my government to pick my job.
My meaning in life comes from my loved ones, my friends, my intellectual endeavors and sense of accomplishment I get from the work I'm passionate about. Hell, even the mundane shit like reading a good book or having fun playing a videogame plays into the 'meaning' of my life. I still have beauty, love, awe, inspiration, and wonder - without the need for a god telling me what I'm supposed to be.
If all that is still 'meaningless' to you, then I don't know what to tell ya.
