If we are simply whizzing through space destined to nothingness, nothing we do here on earth has any real meaning, we may think it has meaning but that is different from actually having any meaning.So, to be clear.
I don't think its the only position an atheist can hold, I think its the only logically consistent one.
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.
These here atheists THINK their lives have meaning... but that they are wrong.
Because this guy who wrote the book, and you, think that "meaning" means something different to what THEY think it means. And you and he are more authoritative commentators on what constitutes meaning than anyone else.
You think your life has meaning, and you're right.
They think their lives have meaning, and they're wrong.
Is that really the message you've come with?
Everybody, thank the nice Christian for telling you that any meaning you think you may have found in life is in fact NOT meaningful.
