A misleading question "the meaning of life"

This is actually not meant as a question at all.  Because this person is going to give you the answer he wants you to believe trying to undermine your autonomy to choose to live your life with your own choice of goals.  Even if God created people with whatever intended purpose, if human beings are able to make choices they can choose their own purpose for what they plan to do with their life, which is a separate question than whatever purpose God planned.

There is such a thing as a stupid question and this certainly is it as the "question" what is the meaning of life, is not asking what the meaning of life is at all.  The grammar is just wrong.  Perhaps they meant to ask what is the purpose of life.  But this is not really a stupid question it is a misleading question and quite possibly malicious because he is interested in what is the purpose of life to the person who wants to control you, for if you live according to the purpose assigned to you then the one who assigned the purpose shall control how you live.
