Meaning

 So you wrestle with the question, “Does God exist?”  Say you come down on the side of “Yes.”  You think you are finished with the question?  Your answer did nothing to change you, your view, your way of life, or understanding of God.  The important issue is “Meaning.”  What does the existence of God mean to you?  You might wrestle with the question of why God does exist, and how does God exist.  As one philosopher said, “What does it mean for God to exist?” Lots of stuff here.  So the whole aspect of you and God is meant to change you somehow in your reflections of the above questions.  The Yes of God’s existence is only the beginning.  Lots of people believe in the existence of God but it matters little in the meaning of their daily life.  “Meaning” takes reflection, which is hard work and done with some silence and solitude, and some interaction with others.
