Default Re: The Myth of Meaning

[ QUOTE ]
The "meaning" comes from knowing that this master plan exists and that it exists for you.

[/ QUOTE ]

So when we see the sex-slave kidnapper who loves her and has plans for her, that adds 'meaning' to her life that makes all other concept of meaning she may have had previously obviously meaningless.

Remember the theist claim is that her mothers love, or her care for the poor in her community is "meaningless" and the discovery of being part of some unfathomable plot by a powerful entity who let's the other 27 kids drown... "poof" instant meaning is conferred to her life.

It invalidates the claim if the meaning comes from her reaction to that belief, that's where all meaning comes from so that'd be just more meaningless meaning.
