Serious Problems with Atheism

[Angrboda]

As a Christian I have experienced that no Atheist on earth has any convincing arguments to these most basic questions which I believe only the Christian religion can answer.

People around the world find themselves enmeshed in different religions. Most testify that their religious experiences are a source of meaning in their life. (Why else would they subscribe to their religion?) From the Christian and his Jesus, to the Brahma of the Hindu, to the 'Dao' of the Taoist, to the "li" of the Confucian, to the four noble truths of the Buddhist. But there's one truth which is inescapable. Some of these religious people, if not all of them, are substantively wrong in their beliefs. It is beyond belief that all these religious people derive their sense of meaning from the veracity of their beliefs. Some of them, must be generating that sense of meaning on their own, without any help from karma or li. That demonstrates that at least some people are able to self-generate meaning without any help from the metaphysics of their belief. So generating meaning is a natural capacity of the human animal. (Otherwise, these religious would find the experiences empty and abandon them.) No god is required if we can create meaning without any metaphysical support. The idea that your God is necessary for a person to find meaning in their life is contradicted by the experience of countless religious people. We are immersed in meaning from birth to death, we can't escape it. It isn't a Christian or a Hindu thing; it's a human thing.

Your implication that Christianity is the only true source of meaning in the world strikes one not only as arrogant and counter-intuitive, but quite simply wrong. We have good reason to believe that humans generate their own meaning, from the multiplicity of religions. And therefore it's not against reason that the atheist manages to find themselves embedded in a meaningful life, without any strings from God holding her up.

What evidence do you have that these other religions are wrong in finding meaning in their beliefs and traditions?
