Despite our assured demise, whether speaking of ourselves, our species, our planet or the universe eventually coming to a grinding halt, we have always created moral systems. If ethical nihilism necessarily followed, the ensuing free for all would have consumed our species long before your religion was created. Another demonstration is to notice that anyone that truly practiced ethical nihilism quickly winds up in jail or dead.
Are you saying there is some basis for a system of objective morality not discovered through logic or philosophy?
