Is nihilism the logical extreme of atheism?

[genkaus]

When I refer to Christians here, I'm referencing mainstream and not JW's, Mormons etc. k.

I'm not aware of any members here who belong to those groups.

Omnibenevolence is a misunderstood attribute. Christians often misrepresent biblical teaching by citing it. I did it myself long ago. To put it simply, it simply isn't an attribute of the Christian God.
Works vs faith is a complex one. He's very young. Christians believe in faith, not works.
Objective morality and non appliance... two sides of the same coin.
None of these are deal breakers IMO.

So basically:
You do disagree with other mainstream Christians about omnibenevolence, you are just saying that they are wrong and you are right.
And you do disagree about faith vs works - again, you are right and he is wrong.
And the two clearly distinct issues about morality are the same?

The point is, there is conflict and contradiction within mainstream Christianity - just because you pretend the other side is mistaken doesn't make the conflict disappear.

Flawed claim? Of the bible being so far inerrant? I've tried hard to find evidence but found none.

That happens when you stay blind to the facts.

Why is a just world outlook preferable? I think I covered that in my 1st post in this thread.

Your first post here says: "My feeling is that theism is the acknowledgement of purpose. In that respect I can view nihilism as it's polar opposite."

It has nothing to do with just world outlook. Nor does your second, third or fourth.

The nature of knowledge has no wants. And its your presupposition that full knowledge is logically unknowable.
