One of the greatest minds in philosophy, Nietzsche, was a nihilist and he is the model I use for defining nihilism. BTW since you usually do not make the effort to understand subtle distinctions and seem to prefer hostile rants instead of using clearly presented arguments, I generally do not find your posts all that interesting.
So you're opposed to rants, but not an argumentum ad hominem? You're a rude, petty individual who I've seen misrepresent those who you disagree with on multiple occasions without shame, and when this is pointed out to you, you degrade those objections to "hostile rants", as opposed to considering the points those "rants" contain.
I suppose if you could consider other people's points though, I wouldn't be wasting my time now pointing that flaw out.
I feel a particular revulsion at the thought of ever conversing with you again, and so do not intend to do so. It's my hope that you'll find entirely obliging, and I hope one day that you come to realise just how disingenuous your misrepresentations of other people's arguments are.
If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.
