I've gotta say, this is pretty insulting. It's easy to tell when somebody's only agenda is to make other people's philosophies look bad.
Since you specifically chose to look at another worldview with your view's ideas of meaning and morality, surprise, they don't line up.
First of all, who cares how bleak naturalism might look. If I have cancer would you suggest that I just choose a worldview where I don't since that's just too depressing?
Second of all, I give my life meaning the same way you do. If you're a Christian, let's face it, you aren't meant to be on MFGG right now. You're commanded to go preach the gospel, not go to college and get a career and etc. The blood of every sinner you don't warn is on your hands. Jesus said to not even worry about food; when you go somewhere to preach, somebody will give you some. Yet here you are living like a naturalist, enjoying what the world has to offer.
Third of all, your morality is probably only different than mine on a surface level. We assimilated to our society's morality. If you claim the Bible is the perfect moral authority but are against child sex trafficking and genocide (Numbers 31:17-18), for example, then you're being hypocritical.
If you're against pedophilia, you're probably against it for the same two reasons I am: you were raised to strongly denounce it, and you understand that it causes bad psychological harm. Not because of the "objective moral standard" you claim to have, which encouraged it at one point and never condemned it.
If you want to discuss.philosophy, awesome. Don't come out to try and deliberately misrepresent other worldviews please.
