Okay, listen to me, very closely. Are you paying attention? 'Cause here goes:
Why is the meaning we have logically inconsistent with atheism? In what way is our meaning different from an objective one?
Furthermore, just chucking a god in there doesn't add objective meaning either! It just adds another subjective one. God's "meaning" for us still comes from a mind, which is the definition of subjective!

A position you haven't at all tried to demonstrate yet. Asserting it over and over isn't an explanation, it's just repetition.
Quote:Life have objective meaning (a point as you say) has huge implications on how we view things, intrinsic worth of human beings, equality, value of life etc, thats why it is so important, athesim paves the way for euthanasia, abortion, sexual promiscuity etc in some cases even infanticide has been proposed. So life having "a point" has huge moral implications.
So, you're just being a ridiculous buffoon with that infanticide crack, but unless you can provide solid reasoning for why euthanasia, abortion and sexual promiscuity are bad, then my response is going to be a mighty "so the fuck what?"
