Open discussion of the Christian Why We're Here thread
RE: Open discussion of the Christian Why We're Here thread
Meaning/value is entirely subjective. If someone can't find meaning in life without it meaning something to an external being or being a dress rehearsal for some other life, then fine. That doesn't stop other people finding meaning in their lives, or even finding meaning in that theist's life, even though they can't find it themselves.

It seems to be part of the binary religious thinking. Something has eternal/external meaning, or it has no meaning. There's absolutely no reason to make this dichotomy, and even theists do not act this way in day to day life (except maybe monks, nuns etc.)
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.
