How can this be anything other than nihilism?
If there is no good and evil.... and what I deem "good" is actually equally "evil"
Then, to hold that my actions really are "good" would just mean I'm deluding myself...
You are deluding yourself, and I'll give you the reason why. Dawkins invoked natural phenomenon to suggest that god doesn't exist. Shit happens, naturally; hurricanes, tornadoes, mudslides, volcanoes, sinkholes, gamma ray bursts, our local star developing into a red giant, meteor the size of Rhode Island, etc.... Would it suck to be at the bad end of these? You bet, but as Dawkins was saying; there's no good or evil about them, they just are.
Your problem is that you conflate natural processes with some divine will.
