Maybe there is no meanign at all. We shouldn't take it for granted that there is one.

Now we are starting to see eye to eye. I agree its open to debate. But we shouldnt either hypothesize without proof/reason, or take this or that ideology with grains of salt simply because it goes against what we believe (in this case that life has no meaning).

But preserving life and living to the fullest can be or even better become, the GOAL of life. There is a huge difference between meaning and goal.

Indeed, but the point of this thread is meaning, and not goal. Plus, the implications of it ignoring the big picture as stated previously, applies here too. Demotivational to say the least, one could stop in his tracks and think to himself: "Whats the point of all this?"

Since you brought up your personal opinion, let me bring up mine: I have been a Muslim for three years now, and there was one time when I thought about becoming an atheist. I pondered over this for three days, and I was afraid at the mere thought of living life without any purpose or meaning. This isnt an argument against athiesm by the way. Its just sharing how Life without a Meaning is demotivational. Life can have a goal and no meaning simultaneously. This, to say the least, is pretty scary a thought.

And, actually, I don't think the killing life part is that irrelevant. I just want to point out that when we say life, we mean EVERY creature, not just humans. Even microbes are life at some extend.

Yes, but this thread is talking about meaning of life. Not the goal of it, leave alone whether we are living up to this goal or not.
