Christians take on the more nihilistic atheists

Nileism: the worship of rivers.

Made up part? It's not made up. I really don't want people to do horrible stuff to each other. That is honestly how I feel. It's a subjective judgement. It's my opinion. I don't understand how you are telling me morality "doesn't exist", when it's simply an opinion; that is how I define it, anyway.

If I was merely being pragmatic, I might not care what people do to each other as long as they don't hurt me. I wouldn't just punch someone for no reason, because I'd be bringing trouble on myself. But if others were punching it out, it wouldn't matter to me.

The emotion of pragmatism I would say is just the actual motivation to want to do anything at all rather than nothing.
