42. It seems to me
Edited on Thu Jul-01-10 11:10 AM by rrneck
that the meaning of the word "meaningful" that you are not discussing is the portion of the human experience with which religion is concerned and the foundation of its (proper) operation. When religion tries to apply "meaning" in the sense that you are discussing it falters and virgins get thrown into volcanoes.

People give meaning to everything. Everything. Even the stuff they make up for no other reason than that it makes them feel something.
