An alternative possibility is that (e.g.) your love for your child reflected a reality external to yourself that your child was good, and your feeling was merely a recognition of this objectively true reality.

Your love for your child is a reflection of an external and obectively true reality, regardless if you believe in Allah, God, or The Buddha.

Yeah. Don't make your love conditional on what you think a god wants you to feel about your children. You know your love is real & powerful & strong but ppl have killed & abandoned loved ones due to religious zealotry before. Don't let it poison what is real.

You should really learn some history before spouting off in public. People have killed their own children in truly enormous quantities for entirely secular reasons.

Try to remain civil. Yes. Don't do that either. The fact that people have killed children for non-religious reasons does not change the point that it would be a bad idea to make your love & duty of care to your child dependent on what you believed a god wanted you to do with it.

If you want me to remain civil, then don't slander religion in public in egregiously ignorant or dishonest ways.

Come on man, you're entire premise is that you "pity" atheists because they can't experience meaning, which is itself ignorant and dishonest and serves nothing more than to inflate your sense of moral self superiority

No, dimwit, I pity people who realize that their worldview inherently rejects meaning. You don't seem bright enough or perhaps just thoughtful enough to realize that, so you're better off than the people I said that I pity.

We just don't give it the same meaning that you do. Your meaning doesn't become objective because you really, really think it's true. I'm sorry you were unable to discuss civilly. I know better than to blame this on your Catholicism because I know many who can have a conversation

I can't even conceive of caring what you will blame. Why are you telling me? Do you really think that you're that important to me?
