Regarding how we only have the one life to live, it should be lived to its fullest.  Not squandered to a primitive mythology that irrationally demands only living a certain way for the supposed hope of an existence after death.

Some of us believe the Christian life is better both personally and for society. YMMV

And I believe that when ice cream sales increase, so do accidental drownings. I'm not, however, inclined to boycott the sale of ice cream therewith.

Do you feel that you fully understand the nature of meaning sufficient to make the claims you are making? I'm skeptical. What makes something meaningful, according to you?

(And no, I don't find the answer "God" to be sufficient.)
