I'm afraid you haven't succeeded. I don't understand . From your post, all I was getting was a gently written confrontation of religion, and a claim that meaning in life is subjective. Am I missing something? How is existence meaningful, do you think? Perhaps you'll need to elaborate to get through to me.
