You: The meaning of life does not have to be some huge, supernatural thing. Perhaps the meaning of life is that we should try to spend each day as if it were our last, or that we must make the world as good for humanity as we can. The meaning might be something mundane like trying to stay happy, bringing up our children well, or simply propagating the species. None of these are supernatural in nature, and all of them could exist without any sort of God what so ever.

Aaron: These things you talk about are all quite pleasant, but I could not believe that any of them are the meaning of life. Life's meaning must be something that shows us that there is a purpose to our existence and that we can be rewarded for our actions. Disgusting as it may be, one can propagate the species with a complete stranger in a darkened alley after an exchange of money, could you really say that that was an example of two people striving towards the meaning of life? I should hope not.

You: What you are proposing for the meaning of life is, when the vocabulary is stripped away, justice. You are saying that there is justice because justice is necessary for hope, hope because hope is necessary for meaning, and meaning because justice gives life meaning. This conversation is going nowhere.

Aaron: Your rhetoric has confused me. Allow me to speak along lines I am more comfortable on.
