Nihilism

Post by Fidem-via-Ego »

As soon as you question something enough you realize you never truly know if it's true. There's an eternal why that can never truly be answered. Axioms, that can't be proved and therefore can't be known to be true, underlie every belief and knowledge that we have. Is this not the work of faith? If you rely on ground that doesn't exist, is this not equally absurd as he who proclaims God exists?

Manure.

The gas stove is on, the flame high...'if I touch the that flame, will I burn?'...I touch the flame, I burn, question answered (truly).

That's how a question remains a question...until the next inquisitor comes along, etc. The only question doomed to remain a question is God until its expiry date when no one any longer gives a crap and chucks the whole idea...shortly to happen before the sun turns into a White Dwarf.
