That's what I would say if I didn't believe.

Your life is what you make it. If it's meaningless to you, why don't you try and inject some purpose into your life? We are all given the same opportunities. Now you can either spend the rest of your life complaining about a meaningless existence, or you can take the time and trouble to create some meaning. I would suggest you begin by taking an interest in other people. You might be pleasantly surprised. Life does have meaning. What does death have to offer?

Giving hope to some one else will make meaning of your life. Even if your are sick you can share experience to others. If you are able go to a shelter and help out . You can help elderly by just raking a yard or etc. for them. You can go to a nursing home and ask to visit someone who has no one to talk to or visit. There is many opportunities out there to give your life meaning. It does not have to be on a grand scale. Just little foot notes that would be missed if you don't take the time. I have people come and tell me they finally got that home by getting their credit good.( Explain to them The difference in needs and luxury spending) Did not know the talk had effect. they was the first in 3 generations to own their own home. My mail person told me they got them a horse and they are happy and relax.( I told her not to wait until you are to old to enjoy it like I did. You have all ready made a difference in my life by helping remember and taking some of my sadness a way from me. Thank you

Life is what you make of it, son.
If you can't get your little head around that idea then you've got even bigger problems than god himself..
Life means absolutely everything when you believe it's the only one you've got.
Besides, I would have thought that yours was the meaningless existence. After all, earth is only an ephemeral stop on the wayside to eternal bliss... Don't you have somewhere to be...?
I hear places like Oregon may help you achieve your goal.

If what you've been trying hasn't worked, then try something else.
Please don't give up on yourself or those around you.
Life can have meaning and purpose if you just give God a chance to show you He's real.
Just pray a silent prayer and ask God to prove what is true.
You ARE a wonderful creation in God's eyes and He only wants to to give you a great and joyful life!
God bless.

Sounds more like you dont believe in yourself......"meaningless existence" would indicate that you feel useless.....What you need to do is find something useful to do......like some of them answered, read the Bible.....if that doesnt help then pray......
But, surely there is something that interests you......if you cant think of something, then think of someone else who needs help in some way and help them......there are lots of people out there who are far worse off than yourself........by helping someone in need, you will have made yourself feel better...........I will pray for you.......

Once you do come to the realization that god isn't real, it is hard to feel a reason to go on. I experienced it too. But you just have to realize that the meaning of life is to just live the way you want to and to perpetuate your own beliefs. I'm sorry you feel that way, but living is all we have. Make the best of it while you still exist.

Yes,if you had a real relationship with Jesus Christ then you wouldn't feel like this. I'm not talking about a religion or denomination,that only causes confusion. You do need to go to a full gospel church.
One that teaches the whole Bible. Ask Jesus to come into your heart.
What do you have to lose other than hell ?

That sounds like the product of Depression, and a refusal to see the world or one's own life.

You choose to think your life is meaningless because it absolves you of taking responsibility for your own happiness - which has nothing to do with your belief, or otherwise, in God.
