*there is no reasonable proof of the existence of a higher ruler or creator,
 *a "true morality" does not exist, and
objective secular ethics are impossible; therefore,     life has, in a sense, no truth, and no action is objectively preferable to any other."

"Existentialism is a philosophical movement that posits that individuals create the meaning and essence of their lives, as opposed to deities or authorities creating it for them.

It emerged as a movement in twentieth-century literature and philosophy, though it had forerunners in earlier centuries. Existentialism generally postulates that the absence of a transcendent force (such as God) means that the individual is entirely free, and, therefore, ultimately responsible. It is up to humans to create an ethos of personal responsibility outside any branded belief system. In existentialist views, personal articulation of being is the only way to rise above humanity's absurd condition of much suffering and inevitable death.""

how about giving your own thoughts instead of c/p'ing something you found?

existentialism and nihilism both reject higher authorities, yet existentialism accepts responsibility for the consequences their actions may cause.

The latter is probably better for your mental sanity.

You're a retard.

How about discussing instead of nit picking like a baby?

I will rue the day when patriotism is defined as putting a
"Support the Troops" magnet on the back of your
SUV and keeping your mouth shut when the
government royally screws you over big time. Oh, wait....

Perhaps we evolved? Who knows.

no, but that doesn't mean one can't have some kind of faith and hope that the creation of our world isn't simply a series of random events and has no meaning. that would be... depressing and unhappy, who wants to be depressing and unhappy?

So I guess I am nihilistic and existential.

---

nihilists believe life has no meaning, but they don't search for it. existentalists choose to take a step and create meaning for their lives.
in that way, they contradict each other.
