If you want to be a zombie that’s your choice.
Morality is objective, doesn’t require God to define it. There is objective atheist morality.
Okay, but you skipped the part where you bring your philosophical abstractions down out of theoretical clouds and note how they are pertinent to your own interactions with others given conflicting goods.
This part:

If someone asks “what is the meaning of life” it is probably because they don’t have the tools to properly form a question. So really what you are trying to figure out is what is the question they are asking. Half the confusion comes from trying to understand what it is they are asking.

Actually, it’s the tools they use to provide answers that most interest those of my ilk.
There are questions like “what does it mean to have an abortion?” And questions like “what does it mean to be arrested, charged with first degree murder, found guilty and thrown in prison for killing an unborn human baby”?
The actual experiences themselves involve any number of objective facts able to be confirmed as applicable to all of us. It’s only when others provide reasons for justifying their moral convictions, that I often shift gears, becoming considerably more “fractured and fragmented”.
To wit: back to the beginning: morality
So, in regard to abortion, how were your own experiences different? How were your own value judgments accumulated over the years other than as the embodiment of dasein?
Then this part:
There is such a thing as both stupid questions and stupid people.

On the other hand, run that by those who embrace any number of “schools of philosophy” … en.wikipedia.org

…just to see how many of them deem you to be a stupid person with stupid answers.
And given my own experiences participating in internet philosophy forums [going back 25 years now] there’s the fact that any number of those who call other people stupid are really just insisting that if others don’t think like they do that’s what makes them stupid.
