I'm confused. Perhaps you can clarify the difference between your original statement and my paraphrased version of it.

You: For without God, life truly has no meaning whatsoever.

Me: life without your version of "God" is meaningless

Be happy to. My version of God is not the perfect "version."

"1 Corinthians 13:12
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known."

Fact of the matter is that if there is no creator and all existence is merely a trick of the cosmos, then nothing has any meaning whatsoever - there is no meaning in the beginning of creation nor in it's existence. The survival or extermination of all of mankind has no consequence whatsoever and morality is merely a man made myth.

Actually "Mere Christianity" by C. S. Lewis covers this nicely for one who would like more wisdom on the subject than I can give on a thread on Freerepublic.
