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.

That's not the claim I saw
@EveKeneinan debunking; she was arguing against the claim that such meaning is subjective/malleable.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

Huh? Mr OzAtheist said that we make our own meaning. She said that's no more possible than own truth or reality.

But it is true in the sense that we pick our purposes in life and find meaning in them. Motherhood, history for me.

That's: A) Not the same as 'making your own meaning' B) Only partly correct

Well, it's what is meant by that phrase. I wanted marriage, children & to be a historian. That's my meaning.

The philosophers do not care what you mean, only what you say. Hence, normal people often do not understand them.

Eve only thinks things are meaningful if her sky-daddy says so.
