That's quite the reach. I didn't read their comment to mean stardust is a good thing. It's neither good nor bad. In any case, remove the sentence about stardust from their reply and their point still stands.

If you remove all the words that give meaning from their post, it will just become something like:
"I do this thing, it's very important, and this thing, it is awesome, and this thing, and you should all do the same - but I have no idea why I do them, they are just good". - Which doesn't make a better post. It makes it a statement of someone who is not aware of their deeper inner workings. It doesn't remove "god/meaning/stardust" from the equation, it just makes it look like the person is not aware of where their meaning comes from.

And if you define "god" to mean "whatever gives your life meaning" then of course God gives your life meaning. But it's a completely meaningless statement.
