Deeply held religious belief, obv. Most ppl who believe in 'God' see the same meanings in life as everyone else - love, family, passions.
-
But I get this a lot: Ur life is meaningless &miserable w/out God! Not so much... U just think ur happy! Is that different to being happy?
-
People who make God-beliefs the source of meaning in their lives can't acknowledge that this is subjective. It must be the only meaning.
-
You don't see this in ppl who acknowledge the subjective nature of meaning. They can empathise with ppl being passionate abt other things.
-
You don't see passionate physicists insisting non-physicists admit their lives are devoid of all meaning & fulfillment.
-
Believers take all good & meaningful things in life & ascribe them to 'God' so they can't see how life w/out 'God' can be good or meaningful
-
This is the thesis of Everybody is Wrong about God, btw, & Eve demonstrated it beautifully today. You should definitely read it.

It's deceitful really. A god ascribing meaning - or a religion doing so - robs your ability to give yourself meaning.
