Re: How does God(s)'s existence give life meaning?
Other people aren't worthy enough to judge you, God is.
I don't need to be judged by a god in order for my life to have meaning, there are plenty of judgmental pricks right here on earth for that.
I also do not understand the logic of the claim that we need an afterlife in order for this one to have meaning... You need to exist forever or there's no meaning to it? I see it the opposite, if I were an immortal soul what happens in my brief life wouldn't matter, nor would a single day. But the fact that life ends makes every day precious, valuable and finite. The fact that we exist in a relative blink of an eye compared to the astronomical time scale, rather than for every one of the billions of years, makes us (and all life) rare and that much more precious.
