Interesting how Christians, Pagans, Secular and others all have parallel arguments about the location of "meaning":
- in the act
- in the understanding of said act
- in the intention of the agent
- (there is no "real" meaning)

Much of this seems to come back to the philosophically basic concept of subject and object.

This issue with our western implicit biases is that we like to polarise the things we can distinguish. Objective is different from subjective and therefore "is not" subjective.
