(May 3, 2022 at 6:24 pm)Won2blv Wrote: I emailed the Atheist Experience and asked about meaning. I got the typical canned answer about creating your own meaning, but I responded with this, "If there is no God, then there is no meaning" Meaning, all meaning is a delusional construct carried out by a narrative we tell ourselves why we do the things we do. 

Why would a meaning from a god be any more meaningful?  It could easily be a delusional construct carried out by a narrative the god told itself.

And why bother looking for an external meaning when it's trivially easy to have a personalized, internalized one?  It's not as if there's anything special about meaning itself.
