I guess it depends on what kind of meaning you're speaking of. If you mean scientific meaning, then yes God could be considered a meaningless term. However, some definitions of God are simply about the wholeness of all the parts, about a creative ordering process to existence. I'm speaking of pantheism and panpsychism.
But there are many other types of meaing besides scientific. Feelings too can have meaning(see the differences between Thinking and Feeling in Jungian Typology). Even if we stick to 'rational' meaning, philosophers and theologians think about all kinds of meanings that aren't scientifically falsifiable. Philosophy and theology don't limit themselves to science.
Basically, we're talking about epistemology. Its not so much about what is or isn't meaning. Rather, its about how do we go about seeking meaning. Which methods are valid and which aren't. If we go this direction, then it could be a long discussion... because, for one, my knowledge about epistemology is limited. |
