Can we live in a Multi-Meaning Universe

The past few days I have been searching on the web for books and articles which give a defense from the Atheist side on weather one can create his own meaning for life. I have already in my writings said why I believe it is not possible, but I would like to reflect here more on if it would even be livable if we did.

After reading some of the top Atheist Philosophers works on the web, for example Michael Martin and other articles, I did not find them to be very convincing. For an atheist there is no external meaning for the universe. The universe as a whole is meaningless. But the Atheist still believes that this does not mean that they cannot live a meaningful life. For them “meaning” means what is valuable to them, the individual.
One is free to live out ones desires as they please if it is valuable to them. To state that one can create his own meaning implies that there is no objective standard of meaning. Know ones view is better than another or more meaningful than another.
If this was to be the case then,

If Man can create his own meaning, then there is no difference between the beliefs of the sane or insane person, because all choices are based on what satisfies the “self”. What is meaningful to one can be meaningless to another. If meaning and meaningless can not be distinguished, is there such a thing as meaning. In the end meaning seems to be reduce to what “is”. This is the way the world just “is”. Describing what we see in the world of actions doesn’t really tell us much about meaning.

If we are to live out our own inventions, how are we to live in a society where we all get on. How is the Muslim and the Christian to get on, the Saint and the rapist, the molester and the children. I mean if meaning is reduced to what satisfies “me’ who is to condemn any ones choice. Or do we now have a majority vote, who imposes their purposes on the rest defining to the rest what is acceptable and what is not. Does meaning in the end come down to who can will his power over the masses. If this is true then know one can condemn Hitler or any other genocide country for what they did as it satisfied the majority, was valuable to them. To imply that common sense knows what is correct and meaningful is to assert that there is an objective purpose, and external purpose for human beings to live by where there is one goal to life, using many different roles and positions to accomplish that one goal. Many try and say we can all do what we like as long as we don’t hurt any body else, but that fails as it still imposes an objective standard on everybody else. Michael Martin with his view of the “Idea observer theory” is just that his theory. It’s not objective and why should the world follow his desires.

Atheism fails to give a workable answer to the meaning of life because it does not have a universal standard for meaning. This implies God’s standard and his objective obligation to all humans to obey. Humans are not meaningless objects, they have a correct way to function and a correct way to act and a correct purpose to accomplish on earth. It is not possible to live in a self seeking multi-meaning chaotic world of choices and opposing actions. Creations must act according to how they were made to function and for the ends they were purposed for. In my next post’s I will try and define what is our purpose on earth!
