>>15020070If God is real, then why do bad things happen? Deflecting with a joke doesn't take away from the question.
>>15020089Objective reality exists, and it exists in an order. That is all that is required to avoid nihilism. The idea of God, for which there is no evidence whatsoever, is based on a purely relativist and subjectivity perception of reality. And if God exists, and he is all seeing and all powerful, then everything is automatically determined, and free will is a spook. If everything is predetermined and free will is an illusion, then nothing matters. The existence of such a God is the ultimate nihilism of pointlessness. The lack of existence of a God creates infinite possibilities, and infinite reasoning, thus making nihilism incompatible with it.
