Does your life really have meaning after embracing these irrational beliefs?

I see many Christians very unhappy, but faking it....with big plastic smiles...That is why some have the angry outbursts....like the preacher's wife in TN that shot her husband....
Can they not just be real instead of grin ear to ear and pull the trigger?

You have FAITH that there is no God. I have FAITH that there is a God. You see evidence in science and creation that God doesn't exist. I see evidence in science and creation that God does exist. To say that some people's beliefs are irrational is, at minimum, is judgemental in my opinion.
I will give you this, however. I think that some people just believe what they're told. Whether it is in a religion or outside of a religion. I think that people need to search for an answer themselves. I am NOT saying, however, that there are multiple answers. That's impossible. The whole "what works for you" concept is totally faulty. Something is 100% true or 100% not true. You can't have it both ways.

Stories we got 'em, when we hit rock bottom
If you been there put your hands in the air
To let the lost know that someone cares
Cause we've been down to the bottom
Stories we've got 'em, when we hit rock bottom
If you been there put your hands in the air
And let somebody know that the Most High cares
I never knew that it would feel like this
When the two that raised you up and call it quits
Nobody told me 'bout the emptiness
When the place you call home is closed for business
I push the pain down, I gotta "get by"
Always knowin' in my heart that it ain’t gonna fly
Rock bottom's never felt so near before
And if pain is God's megaphone it's loud and clear
So hold me now father, human love ain't enough
I've failed and been failed by the people I love
But your faithful arms they surround me
And any other soul who has to sail those seas
Of a broken family
Been so many times that I've been close to rock bottom
Tryin' to look for answers but nobody's got 'em
Like the time my mother looked me in the eye
Tryin' not to cry, tellin' me the cancer might cause her to die
How can this be, I thought that God loved me?
So why would he try to take my mother from me?
And as I cry myself to sleep at night, holding on my pillow tight
He spoke to me and said that everything gonna be alright
So I tried to fight all the pain that it caused
Try to move on and I try to stay strong
So put your hands up, hey, if y'all are feelin' me
And put your hands up for everyone to see
So put your hands up, we all a family
So put your hands up, in unity, in unity
I've been there too
When everything falls apart and the best you can do is
Get through each day wonderin' will this never end?
Is it always going to be this way?
And the greatest lie you've ever been told is that
You're the only one to ever walk on this road
And that you'll never see the light of dawn, so we came together to say
Hold on
Cause we've been there and found our way home
I promise you that you're not on your own
One day this will pass, God will see us all through
God will see us all through, God will see us all pass through

yes. God forgave all my mistakes and when i die i will live in heaven with Him. i know i can never repay Him and i don't need to. i just need to try my best to obey Him.
whatever i need i ask Him to help me with (pray) and with time He will answer me or show me the best way.
you are porbably thinking this is so boring and untrue....
i wish He could make you see that Jesus is not an irrational belief, but the truth. only God can make humans see His truth, humans can only teach, hope and pray for others.

I wouldnt exactlly say that my life was meaningless before i found Jesus because everything that i did or happened to me before i did , im using it to help others who are hopeless in life. You cannot say they are irrational because He is your creator and that would make you irrational, dont you think?!

Instinctual survival is the meaning of my life. Finding something you believe does add to it though, but I could, and have lived without it.

My life actually has more meaning since I have discarded the childhood brainwashings of Christianity.
