Hi Bluejay
​
Interesting topic.
​
I'd just like to ask what this "meaning" is for theists. Because I hear the argument a lot that "atheism is meaningless" whereas "theism gives meaning and significance" but I've never heard what that actual "meaning" is for theists.
​
It's often cited that the "meaning" is all about preparing for the next life, heaven, etc, but it's never made clear what the significance of that is. So you behave yourself, you go to Heaven, then what?
