Meaninglessness meaninglessly means meaningnless meaninglessness. Look and learn ... even though it's meaningless.

Of course - since the universe is utterly meaningless too.

Since life is meaningless (according to atheism), it doesn't matter if you do good things or evil things ... since good and evil are as meaningless as each other. Life is as meaningless as non-life. Love is meaningless as well.

That's for you to answer ... you're a disciple of Meaninglessness, not me.

You seem to think the universe has meaning. If your atheism is true, nothing has meaning - including the universe.

If this life is all there is, there is no 'deeper truth' ... there is only meaninglessness.

Have I taught you nothing? This life has meaning iff (if and only if) there is an afterlife. Not even God can give a finite life meaning.

So your "faith" depended on the actions of other people ... in other words you were never a Christain and your "faith" was fake.

You're conflating emotions and meaning - they're not the same thing. If this life is all there is and life is the result of mindless evolution, human offspring have no more meaning than the offspring of bacteria or the offspring of mosquitoes or the offspring of worms. If this life is all there is and life is the result of mindless evolution, all organisms are just collections of molecules ... and molecules don't have any meaning. So living organisms have no more meaning than lifeless matter.

Re: Ya Gotta Have Stile
nwr writes: No, not at all. It was about my actions.
In your previous post you said "Christianity was about actions, about what we do and how we interact with other people" and that you gave it away bcoz of the actions of other Christians. That sounds like your faith was not based on Christ but on the actions of your fellow-Christians. That strikes me as a rather odd basis for Christian faith. Christianity is about loving God and placing your faith in Christ ... the actions of some of your fellow-Christians should be irrelevant. No wonder you didn't last.

Re: Ya Gotta Have Stile
It's not sad for me. My life has meaning because it isn't finite.

What "meaning" is that? If this life is there is and all life is the result of mindless evolution, bacteria, worms and mosquitos ... and humans ... have no more meaning than lifeless dust.
