Hey, welcome to the forums AA, don't think we've exchanged words yet.
I'm the OP. Life doesn't have to have a meaning. To clarify, I'm an existentialist. I don't believe that life has any meaning, in and of itself. Life has whatever meaning that we as individuals personally find in it or create for ourselves.
The point of the original post was to lay waste to a common theist claim that as without god-belief, life has no meaning. That, and I thought it would be interesting to find out what others here find meaningful.
