Atheism is compatible with your understanding of Nihilism.
It simply rejects the theistic concept of an Abrahamic god, which is, itself nihilistic because it contradicts everything we, as living organisms, experience.
They propose a ridiculous absurdity, an absolute, which then must be annulled with an equally absurd absolute - binary logic, the dualism of Nihilism: ONE/NIL.
Here is where the paradox begins.
Positive Nihilism offers a abstraction it cannot prove, or point to, but exists as a theory, a noumenon, in their heads, and the way they define it it contradicts everything we know as existence....then the atheists must reject this absurdity, being more honest than their hypocritical counterparts, so thy do not contradict god, as a concept, but God as it is presented by the absolutism of positive Nihilism, to which they respond with an absolute nil.
Then they go on and on debating this absurdity, an they call this "philosophy".
Theism and atheism caught in a struggle over a absurdity the theist fabricated to help them cope with the absence of a parent, out there, and then used to exploit the cowardice and idiocy of the masses.
atheist know it is an absurdity, but most of them accept the nihilistic definition of 'god', and because they accept it they define themselves as Nihilists, because they annul the absurdity the Nihilists invented.
They are Nihilists in relation top Nihilism...trapped in the linguistic bullshit of those they feel superior to.
Some go further to claim that since there is no god, no one, then anything is possible. I can invent my own reality, I can self-identify....secular humanism is the outcome...inventing Marxism. Secular Abrahamism is Humanism. The secular form of Christianity is Marxism.
You are identifying in relation to a concept Nihilists invented.
That would be calling yourself a sinner, or evil, in relation to Christian ethics.
You've submitted to Nihilism when you call yourself a nihilist because you reject the bullshit they sell.
Do you understand?
As for
ILP and your new thread....trust me, that place is brain dead, or populated with insane clowns, including many of the moderators.
All you receive are snide remarks, gossipy derailing, cynicism, and the usual variety of crazies vomiting and mind-farting.
Oh sure you might get some moron coming to brag and posture, or some woman to tell you about how wonderful love is, and how we should all learn to get along, but you can get that in any bar in North America and Europe, and in any street corner.
Same
**** on and on.
What people like that call 'philosophy' are clever quotes offering some help, directing them towards happiness, or pleasure.
They think of philosophy as a self-help manual.
