    I'm an atheist. Nihilism was around long before it was rebranded to be a negative term. It was done so by good, hearty religious folk in a time when it still wasn't even safe to 'come out' as a non-believer. People were though, and although the philosophy of nihilism had been around awhile it became used as a way of riling people up against non-believers by claiming they were immoral. A long time later the word has been effectively reassigned to mean a person of low moral fiber. It still means what it always has, but the damage has been done and far too many people understand it falsely because of the people who would have persecuted me were i born in any other century.

    So although I appreciate the clarification I shall continue to assault that understanding wherever I see it. To be honest, I usually do encounter fellow nihilists in forums and they too wear the term with pride (and are always of a sunny disposition).

    Christianity can be bunk that doesn't say anything about religion.

    KX -- I'm only saying that the term 'hater' is new and not in any religion at all.

    OK so as per you nihilism makes me a hater, right?

    Well thats my philosophy; it's got nothing to do with emotions - ??

    It seems to me that you're the hater for taking issue with my philosophy. Just sayin

    Seriously you're trolling is getting old. At this point I dont mind if you wanna trash my views; i just mind you misrepresenting them.

    What has saying no or being negative got to do with this thread. (And if you intend on answering that question please elaborate for more than one sentence so I don't need to ask ten more. This is a discussion forum not a chat room.)

    I didn't think The Marquis was being disrespectful. I think it is important that we do not misconstrue his thought here.

    I’m curious. What are you going to do?

    For me, the question is whether I become myself or continue to exist inauthentically as a member of the public.

    I'm pretty much a nihilist, but who cares? I wouldn't go around promoting it, what's the point?

    No. What if death appeals to you? Is then death the meaning of life? If both death and life are the purpose of life, then can't we say that meaning is whatever you make it? Thus everything is meaningless. Outcomes have consequences, cause leads to effect, that's all we can say.

    I disagree with your opening statement barcelonic. I believe the purpose of life is not to take lives, but to save them!

    Waiter I must disagree with every point you just made....

    Firstly, I am not a dissident. I don't know what in the world makes you think that.
    I don't believe you have the right to tarnish KX000 in that way.

    Secondly, Pluto is not a planet.

    And lastly, if I knew how to dispose of a murder weapon I wouldn't have had to do any dismembering, so calling me a witchdoctor is quite out of order!!

    At least you're making sense though - that's always nice to see :m:
