OK, I will amend it: as you appear fond of saying......

You are being subjective again...

"A God capable of everything could find meaning in nothing" -- Solon

The rest of us have meaning because we DO have limitations, and these limitations necessitate value judgements and meaningful choices. How could a Being--all powerful and all good--entertain meaningful choices within itself? A perfect Being would have no desire, as it would lack nothing. It would have no needs--being capable of ALL.

The whole essense of meaning is that something matters. Nothing can matter to the type of God that humans have imagined. The manner in which we define God was ill conceived, in another place and time. It is a silly and destructive idea--an idea that humankind must now transcend.
