Do you wish there's a god?

Nihilism isn't a position on whether we live in a world with or without desire. 



To be blunt....it explicitly asserts that human beings desire meaning and create that meaning as a direct response to a lack of inherent meaning.  

No nihilism, only requires the rejection of objective meaning, it doesn't require you to take a position on any other forms of meaning, subjective meaning, or whether or not human being can create meaning, etc.... Just like atheism doesn't require you to believe that God beliefs are imaginary, or delusional. Human being also don't create meaning, they find things meaningful, they don't make things meaningful. A nihilist could agree that even subjective meaning isn't created, just as I indicated.

That we desire meaning is true regardless of what kind of world we live in, the existence of that desire, itself, makes no more or less sense regardless of either.  This is before we get into the inanity of insisting that desire makes sense in the first place...in any kind of world.

The desire for meaning makes more sense in a reality in which meaning exists. Absent of the existence of such meaning, it would have to be explained away, you need an excuse, sort like I would need an excuse to explain to my wife how I got lipstick on my shirt accidentally, and not because I was cheating on her.
