eg my daughter is real. She means a lot to me. I have purpose & meaning as 'mother'. She means nothing to you.

That's because she's not my daughter, and I'm not her mother. Not because of anything you invented or imagined.

Exactly. I'm not claiming to gain meaning from anything I've invented or imagined.

Ergo, you are claiming to get meaning from real things. Which are not subjective.

OK, cool. The problem Eve had was with someone saying we each give our lives their own meaning.

We don't. We find meaning, but we can't just make it out of nothing. That's why some people feel meaningless.

I'm not claiming we make it out of nothing. We make it out of a range of things which are available to us.

The original claim was that an atheists life is not meaningless coz we find meaning in our lives on this earth.

Not that we make it out of nothing but that we choose from a range of things what meaning our lives will have.

Some ppl feel there can only be meaning if it is eternal & connected to the supreme creator of everything. I don't.

I accept that my meaning is small, local & temporary & differs from other people's. But its still meaning & enough.
