Is nihilism the logical extreme of atheism?

This statement presupposes 3 things:
That a god exists.
That you know things about him.
That your knowledge corresponds to how he really is.

Without proving those three your statement is meaningless.

Being limited can be considered a flaw.

Contradiction alert: If we know this reality is unjust and we make decision on the assumption that it is just, then we are essentially making decision based on a lie.

Yours maybe.

You're going to have to be specific and state what exactly you find to be conflicting. We have a few different flavours of mainstream Christians here who could confirm either their connection or disconnection with me.

The bolded statement is sufficient to establish conflicting understanding of god. FYI, consistency on a subject is determined by logical coherency, not popular vote.

Not everyone - for most here reality shapes beliefs.

It does if the assumption of justice is a product of flawed thinking.
