Some years ago, I debated a Muslim lecturer at Manchester University (the debate can be viewed here) on the question of whether life has meaning without God. It always reminds me of Hans Christian Anderson’s fabulous story, ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’. Famously, in that fairy tale, the emperor was fooled into believing that the clothes he was being sold were so fine that only intelligent people could see them. Allegedly, ‘he’ is the source of all morals, values, and meaning, which ‘he’ can dispense to us from on high. It doesn’t fall like a golden shower from an invisible emperor above.
