Is Christianity worse than nihilism?
I saw some halohead claiming that atheism lead to nihilism. Well, OK, I can't really say this isn't true in some form abd in some cases.
But, he went on how bad nihilism was, abd I had to wonder if Christianity is worse that nihilism.
Nihilism, meaningless, futility, pointlessness. OK, a but if a downer I admit.
But in Christianity and Islam you exist solely to either be a mindless little drone praising ghawd and existibg to serve abd obey him like a goddam Borg drone, or you are tortured for allll eeeeternityyyyy for not doing it.
Which is worse?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I think Christianity and Atheism are both nihilistic, but more obviously atheism.
I dislike both, more so Christianity, because it disguises it's nihilism behind an Armaggedon-ish veil: THIS world will be destroyed, and from the ashes will be born a new world. Thanks a lot.
Atheism is more directly and starkly nihilistic. It's all meaningless and adds up to nothing, period.
Pick your poison, I guess.
Agnosticism, on the other hand, leaves open the possibility there MAY be a point to it all. WHAT that might be is, of course, unknown.

'swhy I'm agnostic, brah.
@Techpriest Of course.
For me, agnosticism reflects my reality. I don’t call myself a nihilist; I’m a realist. Life is chaos. I try to be optimistic, but deep down, I know that most people sink to the lowest levels rather than rising above.
My realism gives me peace: this life is what I have. I’m responsible for it, and I accept the consequences of my actions/inactions. Nobody ‘owes’ me, and I don’t owe them.

Your "realism" isn't very cheerful, is it? In fact it's almost downright nihilistic!
