Your meaning in life is derived from you. My meaning in life is derived from me. Yours is not mine, and mine is not yours. If you've decided that christianity is your meaning in life, then fine. It's a personal thing.
The idea that the bible is some sort of moral guide would be laughable, if it wasn't so sad. You have a deity that believes killing people is the best way to solve problems. Slavery and rape are fine, under some circumstances, yet two men who love each other is an abomination. When you star with that kind of stuff, it kind of overshadows the nicer bits about loving they neighbor as yourself. Especially when you're supposed to hate yourself.
I hope you learn a thing or two about atheists while being here. Mainly that we're often pretty cool people who don't need a genocidal narcissist to keep us in line. We do good because we like doing good. Not because we feel like we need the guy that created hell to save us from hell.
