Is nihilism the logical extreme of atheism?

[Esquilax]

Judging by your statement, your purpose and meaning is dependent on god's will - which makes it subjective. And since nihilism is absence of objective purpose or meaning, that would make your position similar to nihilism, not opposite to it.

Yeah, that's the part that never gelled with me either, when apologists start bandying the word "objective" around when talking about their god; god is a subject, just like anyone else. Even if he knows everything, that doesn't prevent him from having opinions and so on that might warp his worldview, making his position no more objective than the rest of us. There's nothing in god's opinion of X, Y or Z that makes it objectively true, and I suspect that really it's just a word theists toss around to give their god a putative edge in and discussion of opinions they'd like to have.
