Eternity completely strips existence of all {extrinsic} meaning, because it is impossible to get to "the point of it all." I've known this for the past 50 years, after visualizing the flow of eternity one afternoon in the winter of 1968-69. Adding a god to the equation doesn't fix things, because then you have two beings existing eternally for no particular reason.
(And in retrospect, what I thought was a bout of nihilism back then was more likely seasonal affective disorder.)
(Edited to add: Even if there's no ultimate meaning to existence, it is still possible to craft one's own meaning in an eternal framework, the same as a non-eternal being can do.)
