If God does not exist, then what we call divinity is merely the reflection of human longing—the echo of our need for meaning in a vast, indifferent universe. Morality, love, and purpose are not bestowed from above but arise from within us, shaped by experience, reason, and the bonds we form. The absence of God does not strip life of significance; rather, it places the weight of creation upon our own shoulders, making us the true architects of meaning in a world where no higher power dictates our fate.
Bullshit.
There are two types of identity, Arithmetic and Geometric, which can be paired with the perceptible and the intelligible, which again be paired with noun and verb.
To define a thing requires both, in order to denote a unit of recursion; Noun (limit, container) equals Noun and Verb) Tom is a Cat.
God is a word which denotes an intelligible thing, and one should get the hint of this when it is said, no man can see the face of God, i.e., God is not a perceptible.
Secondly, no one but an idiot looks for the meaning of their life. We are born to modify our behavior such that that behavior maintains and promotes life. I.e. it is not what That means, which is often anthropomorphic, but what we mean. Words, names, in of themselves have no meaning, We establish the convention of names in accordance with our own intelligence to do so.
A member of a class is not the class of which it is a member, or again, a noun is not a verb, or again, a point is that which has no part, or again, the container is not the contained. etc., etc.,
Intelligibly God is the Power of the Universe, not a particular power, not a particular relative difference, or again, not a particular verb. We denote, in the word God, the only power we can know, as a mind, that power is also called Language or literacy.
We determine our fate in accordance with our ability to master our environment. No single person can do this. That is why only a fool looks for the savior of mankind outside of themselves instead of spending their life making themselves a part of that very same salvation. Mankind might get there some day, but not today.
What do we dictate? If we are sane, we seek to learn and effect the power of the Word, i.e., a true understanding of literacy and how to work making mankind able to do his own work.
It is called being responsible for one's self. If you could read, God id not make a man, God is making Man, a work still progressing.
You can look for a job, something perceptible and tangible, but you have to really be thick to to think that you look for meaning as an unqualified term or a term qualified by another intelligible. You can look for a rock, but not the idea of a rook unless looking is within, i.e., an intelligible.
Using the word God, as something perceptible, is something only a fool claims to do. The inability to know the difference between our two types of identity and to use them in accordance with the convention given them to mean, is a sign of a mental malfunction, a mental problem, nor a problem with reality
