I am baffled at those who seem to think that without some supernatural having some plan for us all that everything is pointless. Make your own life and make your own meaning. One doesn't need an invisible hand to guide them.
Saddam Hussain made his own meaning to be a Tyrant. He made his own meaning. Having your own meaning doesn't mean anything. For you to say it's a significant meaning, you have to justify it. But all our perceptions of how to live very well maybe myth based. It maybe a myth that there is such a thing as praise. Maybe all actions are not praiseworthy. There is no explanation from naturalism why an action is praiseworthy.
The struggle for justice is not proven to be meaningful from naturalism perspective. In fact, it seems meaningless.
It's like Dawkins said. There is no right or wrong. No morals. No meaning. Nothing.
Are you sure you want to kill religion? Perhaps we should strive to make a fake Prophet with the coolest myth ever
(I'm kidding)
