I'm a little torn on this thread. Not only am I arguing with two of the people who I like best on the forums, but I don't want to try to convince you guys or anybody else to be a Nihilist. I'm fine and happy being one. In general I'm a pretty happy person because I've learned to accept the absurdity of an atheistic and nihilistic universe. I don't think that everybody can do that though. I think some people are depressed enough considering their eventual non-existence. If you pile on the idea that all the horrible (and good) things that have happened in history are ultimately meaningless, it can become too much for some. I think that's why so many Atheists are not Nihilists, so they can instil meaning in their life to keep themselves sane. I don't instil meaning and keep myself sane just fine because I accept the absurdity and even humor of it all.
