you will change your mind eventually.
For you, thats cool.
Of course, it doesnt mean that the same applies to all.
Maybe you will?
What is meaningless is to be so earthly minded that you are no heavenly good and live this way most of your life.
Assuming there is One true God who is the reason for all valuable meaning in life, then yes, it does matter who/what this God is.
Assuming there is no true God that is the reason for all valuable meaning in life, then yes, we each ascribe meaning to our own lives, essentially making us mini "gods".
Atheists like to be their own personal mini "god" because they make the rules and change the rules as they please. This is obvious.
An atheist is free to do this, but in this worldview of defining your own meaning in life, you can't logically say something is meaningful apart from yourself because you require self to define meaning.
IOW, from an atheists perspective, when they go out of existence, life has no meaning for anyone ever at any time because it was that atheist who personally ascribed all meaning to life.
If he begins to say life can have meaning apart from himself, then he's ascribing to a meaning that he is not the cause of, who then is the cause of this meaning that is separate and not caused by the atheist? The most obvious answer is the One true God who gives life all meaning.
Why is this answer obvious? Because without a One true God who gives life all meaning, we all individually ascribe all meaning to life. The consequences of this is that the meaning I ascribe to life is more true than the meaning you ascribe to life,
but then again the meaning you ascribe to life is more true than the meaning I ascribe to life and thus in this worldview where we all ascribe our own meaning, we have an insurmountable contradiction.
You mentioned a problem...I think I found it rooted in the atheistic worldview that says we all ascribe our own personal meaning to life.
I agree there are many sources of meaning. I'm more interested in the original true source of meaning. Where does meaning come from?
For most theists, especially the Abrahamic theists and the Christians amongst those, "God" is first and foremost "the authority". God is the sovereign ruler, the judge, the law giver... even as a creator he commands his creation into existence.Why would that make us "mini gods"? That makes no sense. You are still assuming that only god(s) can give meaning to things, in order to make such a statement.
We are humans and we give meaning to things all the time. It adds nothing of value at all to add "...so we are mini gods". It's completely meaningless.
Again assuming that only god(s) can make up rules and meaning and purpose....
It's like you INSIST on having god(s) exist. Even if it turns out that no god(s) exist... then you're going to call humans "god(s)".
Your brain.
You're still looking for ultimate meaning. There is none. There is only meaning to the individual, the subject. Why should anyone expect meaning to be the same for all subjects?If the true source of meaning comes from my brain, then that means the true source of meaning also comes from your brain and all the sudden we have a contradiction. Which brain is the true source of meaning? Mine or yours? Can't be both.

You say there is no ultimate meaning as if you know that to be fact. How do you know that to be fact?
Is it a fact? Or are you just claiming it's a fact because that's what you believe to be true?
