I don't need to be judged by a god in order for my life to have meaning, there are plenty of judgmental pricks right here on earth for that.
I also do not understand the logic of the claim that we need an afterlife in order for this one to have meaning... You need to exist forever or there's no meaning to it? I see it the opposite, if I were an immortal soul what happens in my brief life wouldn't matter, nor would a single day. But the fact that life ends makes every day precious, valuable and finite. The fact that we exist in a relative blink of an eye compared to the astronomical time scale, rather than for every one of the billions of years, makes us (and all life) rare and that much more precious.
I like what Will Rogers once said, "If dogs don't go to heaven, I want to go where dogs go." Me too.
Other people aren't worthy enough to judge you, God is.

Source for that claim?
The fact remains there is no reason to believe in your god or any other. We the living do have a justice system, we have to deal with matters of justice so we have to deem people qualified to judge our very earthly actions, they aren't that complicated anyways that only a god can say "yeah... you shouldn't have drowned your infant." We humans are capable of such judgments with ease.
And if God is other people?
The only source that would have the authority to make it.
That's a no then right? You have no good reason for what you believe, so I why should I credulously buy into your assertions? I miss the days when you faith peddlers actually had game.

A no to what, Lachlan?
And what kind of game are you referring to, the rack? Burning at the stake? Boiled alive? Yes, those were the days.
Someone used the fallacy of begging the question in another thread in first assuming that if God doesn't exist, life has no meaning.
What about God(s) gives life meaning?
Prove God exists, otherwise your statement is foolish.
God created us. Without him, there would be no life. If there is no life, then there can be no meaning to life.
A no to you giving me evidence for your god's existence, or any good reason why I should believe you assertion?
Also, its Lachean.
Yeah, iPad autocorrects your name to Lachlan, idk why.
God isn't mine, I am His. Have you read the bible?
Then monkeys might fly out of my butt
That's your opinion, and you know what they say about opinions...
But, personally I don't want to practice a religion where things must go into or out of one's butt.
So you aren't Catholic? :lol:

If there is a God, then there is something eternal, with which you can join. There are things you can do which won't be undone. The things you do matter beyond your personal existence, or the existence of humanity, for that matter. There is an ultimate referee, and there is an ultimate right and wrong.
If there is nothing eternal, everything done will be undone. Every species goes extinct, and humanity will be no exception, whatever we do now or at any time. The Earth gets swallowed by the sun no matter what happens between then and now. The universe follows entropy into lukewarm mush no matter what. So everything's pointless. Utterly. Everything whatsoever. There is no point to doing anything, and deriving "meaning" from anything, anything at all, is delusion, because there isn't any.
Or nothing changes but form. Love is eternal, it is everything. We are not parts of it. There is no part of everything. Everything is all.
