Nihilism: What is it like to believe in Nothing?
It's probably no secret to many here, that I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Atheist, AND proud of it!But, you see, Atheism, believes in something; and that "something" is that there is NO God, - or Indeed Gods. (Haven't seen any evidence for it so far), Yet ...I'm happy and serene, in this belief, and have been since I was about 7 or 8 years old (Yes, they raise some pretty good, and decent, Heathens, here in Australia).
Others; however, wish to take their "Beliefs" even a step further, again...This is Nihilism.
If you are not familiar with this Philosophy (and are interested in learning about it); then please watch the video link (below)......(approximately 15 mins)
I'm just putting this up, for the interest, of people, here
I have disabled the comments, not because I don't want to chat with you all; but because there are enough "God / anti-God" type blogs floating around here already....

Do you believe you exist?
Absolute question like you have, demands no uncertainties. Perhaps doesn't count. Either you exist or not.
Winner, American Institute of Physics, 2005 Science Writing Prize. Back in the olden days—the first trillionth of a second after the big bang—energy was matter, matter was energy, and E = mc ² ruled. Physics describes the behavior of matter, energy, space, and time, and the interplay among them in the universe."
