So if I do establish my own fictional meaning in life (and it will inevitably be fictional) then why is that more noble and enlightened than someone whose meaning comes from a fictional traditional religion, like Islam or Christianity?
Because it's your own, you made it, and you aren't hiding behind anyone else's concepts or excuses.
If you were to bring God the gift of your life, do you think he'd be more pleased with golden authenticity or a plastic copy?
