Dealing with existential nihilism

[vorlon13]

I was born Christian, er Mormon. I think it's christian, others have their own opinions. My dad had indoctrinated me into atheism by giving me skeptic podcasts, which completely changed my viewpoint.

I was about 14 when I determined I didn't believe (have evidence for) god(s) but I have, in the last four years, not been able to shake my existential nihilism. Does anyone have an answer to the question: If there is no afterlife and no consciousnesses to remember what we did in life and we are forgotten, why does it matter? Why should I logically keep living?

Welcome and congratulations on leaving the Mormons.

LOL, don't worry about whether or not Mormon's are Christians.  Turns out Christians aren't doing it right either;  their Jewish God in fulfillment of Jewish Law and Jewish Prophecy impregnated a Jewish teenager to give birth to His Jewish son so that he might grow up amongst the Jews and learn from the Jewish religious teachers of that time all He needed to know to perfect Judaism and to accumulate 12 Jewish disciples so that He might preach his Judaism to the Jews.  Jesus even taught those Jews they needed to be better Jews than their religious leaders were.

So, it's pretty obvious the religion of Jesus is Judaism.

Those who are practicing Christianity are practicing a religion that is about Jesus, not OF Jesus. 


And the Mormons are ESPECIALLY wrong.
