53 everything which has a purpose, necessarily has a cause...
I AM that I AM
so the point is God is purposeless?
Is that what you're meaning? (gotta love a good argument)
OT do not respond..
OP
I’ll grant that, from the Atheist’s perspective, religious meaning is also just a feeling or sense of meaning. But, from the Theist’s perspective, this amounts to a denial that Theistic meaning exists, accompanied by a redefinition of the word meaning to reflect that denial.
Having been in both camps I think the meaning of the word is the same.
It's just applied to different scopes. The atheist denies the scope that the theist accepts.
