Help me bring nihilism to an END

Importantly, surely in a world of natura pura one is only able
to imagine that God came down and assumed human nature (homo
assumptus), that is, he adopted human nature, which of course was
really different from the divine, just as nature was really different
from grace, or absolutely different. In addition, the first Adam was
just that, the indigenous inhabitant of the world of natura pura, and
he was made in the image of God, for how could they be made in
the image of the second Adam, which would be nonsensical in such
a serial world. Now in the world of natura pura, there had been a
veritable revolution in terms of knowledge. Rather surprisingly, in
this world people were able to abort unborn babies at will (caring
more about polar bears, which were a protected species unlike
human babies), and end the life of the elderly, efficiently and
painlessly, of course. And even more odd, to say the least, the very
existence of humans was now doubted by the most learned.  Now
of course there had been something called natural law, but the only
problem was that only one tribe among many actually believed in it.

Nihilism is the most ‘uncanny of guests’ (Nietzsche), so how do we
approach it? How does one choose nihilism? These types of question are
‘wrongheaded’, because if nihilism were the case then it could not be
chosen. Indeed, nihilism is the absence of all choice. But this absence
comes in the form of a particular ‘plenitude’. For nihilism to be ‘possible’
it must not be a choice, but must be, in a sense, every choice, in that every
choice must be available to it. The reason for this is quite simple. Nihilism
is typically characterised in terms of ‘lack’. Nihilism, it is argued, is a lack
of values, a lack of God, substance, horizons, and so on. If this were the
case then nihilism would not amount to much. If nihilism were to be
found wanting, then we could easily surmount an attack, utilising this
perceived lack as the basis for such an offensive. This is wholly to miss the
point. If nihilism is the case then it does not lack anything, or more
accurately, it does not ‘lack in lacking’. This conundrum merely points to
the obvious fact that nihilism may lack God, but it also lacks this lack of
God. Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You gotta have somethin'
If you wanna be with me
Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You gotta have somethin' Accompanying any radical absence is an absence of absence, and so
to attribute a negativity to nihilism is one-sided. This type of accusation
articulates its protestation only ‘within the sides’ of a metaphysical
imputation, since it must presume the absence of nihilism so as to be able
to accuse it.

    What now.

    The initiative goes on.

    Please explain to me what the flying fuck this is.

    Because I am just not sure what to make of this.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.

    That's self-evident; what this person he's quoting is saying is not.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    There is a theologian named Conor Cunningham who often expresses fairly off-the-wall and offensive opinions and is trying to become a spokesperson for his faith. I follow a few theologians on twitter who dislike him.

    The bulk of the quotes are taken from his book, The Geneology of Nihilism, which stretches the word "nihilism" as much as it can to accommodate everything Cunningham dislikes. The thread title and the last few quotes are taken from @Non_Cunningham, a now suspended twitter account parodying Conor Cunningham.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    The rest is vaguely related nonsense.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    He makes no sense.

    I mean, even if you take Anglican doctrine super-literally and despise atheism as lawless and blasphemous, this whole "natura pura" and "nihilism is the absence of choice" thing is so poorly phrased and obscure in intent that it sounds like word salad. Even most evangelicals would not call positivism "nihilistic," for one thing...
  • @Non_Cunningham was suspended? :(
  • My dreams exceed my real life

    He makes no sense.

    Yeah he's an idiot.

    If you don't have theology you can't tell the difference between raping someone and enjoying an ice cream cone, he has said.

    The argument of the religious fundamentalist only goes so far as to say that morality without God makes no sense, not that it automatically does not exist. It simply assumes that the "godless" are being mislead as to what is right or wrong and that all basic morality stems from God, not that they are automatically amoral. It really is a very stupid argument and does little to justify religious morality itself.

    ^ ...but what if you're into that?
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    He is not very smart, as I said.

    I read a book written by him, and I am unsure if it actually said anything.
