I’m a theological noncognitivist, so I’m very hung up on “meanings” in a completely different way. What do you mean by “the Meaning of Life”? I find that when we properly define these terms, the answers become obvious.

Do you mean “purpose”? Like what is the point of living? Why should you get out of bed? What should people be taking from the experience? Or do you mean a deeper reason for existence, like life is some divine test we must discover and subsequently pass?

And when you say “Life,” do you mean all life? Biological functions and growth? Or do you mean sentience? Are we meant for something special because we possess the ability to ponder whether we are meant for something special? Or is our faculty to ponder merely an extension of a biological imperative to continue expanding? Are we the end-game or just a step in the process?

I’ve usually lost everyone’s interest by this point, which I think is one of the major hurdles for theological noncognitivism to overcome. But it’s better than equivocating on the word “Love” and arguing past each other.
