After 6 years of suspense (see my first comment on this post: http://breathmintsforpenguins.blogspot.com/2016/06/musings-on-meaning-of-meaning-and.html), my thoughtful Christian friend got back to me and we continued for a while brought it to a thrilling conclusion.
I thought it was a fun conversation, so I'm posting (a somewhat edited for brevity and clarity) my part of it here. I haven't asked for permission to post my friend's comments, so I'll summarize those. I guess if they come across this and want their part included verbatim, I'll replace with the full, unedited correspondence. Also skipping a big chunk towards the end because it gets complicated, and probably boring to read for people other than the participants.
