Of course it has meaning...even animals will grieve. As for some deep meaning...who knows? If you have ever read anything I have written on FR, or just this thread, you will see that I am far from an atheist...why do you say I am? In many ways, your beliefs mirror atheists - you equate animals with people, you equivocate between murder and killing, you say just wars don't exist, you say morals are not absolute - these are atheist beliefs. Tell me why I should not believe thatyou are an atheist. Oh, and please spare me the comparison of animals with people. Do you really want to go there? You are opening up another huge can of worms that you cannot defend. Do you really think that animals grieve like people? Do you really think that animals understand loss as humans understand it? Do you really think that animals love as humans love? Are animals self aware? Do animals consider their plight?

I'm not familiar with the beliefs of atheists. The definition I have says that they do not believe in God. I made one comment about animals and their grieving, (something that has been on the animal channel a number of times, and that I have personally observed in a couple of my pets)for dead babies or mates, and you go off on my comparing humans to animals...why? I really don't care what you believe about me, I was just asking how you came up with the thought that I was an atheist.
