The Death of God and the Meaning of Life
Okay kiddo, imagine if one day you woke up and discovered that there was no such thing as Santa Claus or the tooth fairy. You might feel sad or confused because you used to believe in them and they gave your life meaning in some way.
Well, some grown-ups believe that there is no God, and it can feel like a big deal because for many people, God is what gives their life meaning or purpose. This idea is called “the death of God” because it means that the belief in God is no longer as strong as it used to be.
But just because some people don’t believe in God, it doesn’t mean that life has no meaning. People can still find meaning in many things, like their relationships with others, their work, or the goals they set for themselves. It’s up to each person to create their own meaning in life.
Just like how you might find a new way to have fun after discovering that Santa isn’t real, grown-ups can find new ways to feel happy and fulfilled even without the belief in God.
