It makes a lot of sense.

Agree mostly. It’s a bad state of mind though, but nihilistic thoughts creep in from time to time.

It’s the only honest and logical option for someone that does not believe in God to hold.

Anything else is pure cope.

Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t understand what the logical conclusions holds if existence is truly nihilistic.

What's the logical conclusion?

I agree God is an antidote to meaninglessness that many people subscribe to. The advent of widespread Christianity caused civilization to improve significantly

Nobody exists as a nihilist for long, you usually become an existentialist or “find God”. It’s a miserable existence otherwise.

I feel like 2022 join dates are more likely to be nihilists. We really have no purpose. Srs.

incel ideology that is easily defeated by the mere acquisition of dat dere sugar wall.

Nihilism is dysgenic and for weak pheggets.

Nobody who regularly drowns in dem slippery walls or regularly gets yucky with the bwois can possibly be nihilistic.

Nihilism, much like atheism, a luxury of a life without struggle.

It doesn't even matter that you're happy it doesn't even matter that nothing matters, bro.

The philosophical equivalent of how can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real.

Praise be to the prophet Jaden Smith.

Lol at the Christcels weighing in. Your entire structure is finding happiness, content and identity outside of yourself.

Over a myth.

Lol. Just lol.
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

God is only a logical conclusion if one just takes a step back & puts an ounce of common sense into the reality around them.

If God doesn't exist, nihilism is true.
Nihilism isn't true.
Therefore God exists.

The Conspiracy Against The Human Race by Thomas Ligotti is a good read in this area. It's pretty bleak. He's a horror writer, but this is a philosophical work reviewing pessimism, nihilism, and anti-natalism.

I'm not a nihilist. I find it romantic and unwarranted. If you were so inclined to nihilism, I'd rather recommend to you Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Buddha, Jesus...real stoics.

If you're looking for meaning in life, and not finding it because you think there needs to be a heaven somewhere you can go after you die...I would cut to the chase and say you're already in Heaven. If you find yourself in Hell, then go somewhere else or plant some flowers.

Blessed are the meek:
for they shall inherit the earth.

...there is alternate reading/interpretation of this quote attributed to Jesus.

A meek as I understand it is an untrained horse in Greek of that time, one which has potential but it's power is not harnessed. Like a person who is not in control of their desires and impulses. If you learn to control yourself and behavior, then a wonderful gift awaits you...which is the world around you. You are not bound to it's machinations. Rather. You control it.

"The Kingdom of Heaven is inside you."
"The Kingdom of God is inside you."
"The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." (Literally all around you, maybe)

...if you're trapped in nihilistic thought, maybe you would feel differently if you were able to set yourself free of drugs, material meaningless desires, literally depression that can be addressed. The world has a lot of beauty in it. It can also be Hell...but if your lot in life is not to be trapped in war or destitute poverty...you owe it to yourself to believe in the reality of your own potential, happiness, loved ones, and creative power. Those are real things, and not nihilism.

In addition, there's no reason to help anyone you don't want to because it really is pointless.

That is the general theme of Nihilism and literally everything people care about is fairly dumb. Most people are living in a delusion.

Alternately, you could be a happy Nihilist and do all kinds of positive things for the lulz.

I have a bit of a "f@ck it, why not be positive" kind of attitude. If there was a comet headed to Earth that would destroy it, I'd probably still go to the gym and stuff before it hit.

I think, due to human nature, it's easier to get depressed and miserable as a Nihilist than be positive just for the hell of it.

Personally, I have some spiritual beliefs that help fight nihilism and I prefer entertaining those ideas versus thinking life in in fact pointless.

I'm not disagreeing necessarily, but in the Bible it also says "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity." Every action is just the pursuit of wind.

Ecclesiastes was a very nihilistic chapter tbh
