Nihilism might look too trivial. Evil persons portray itas a virtue, using ignorance as an excuse for sin. So it's necessary to look at the consequence.

Let's start at the biggining—the promotion of nihilism. One of the forms of Nihilism is book burning. Of course, that doesn't usually work, but it shows the motives. More common is the attempt to promote subjectivity stripped of knowledge. Worshipping wooden idols had that purpose. To worship wood is to turn off one's mind, so dominators can control it more easily. In corrupt religion, nihilism is taught as subjective experience replacing knowledge. In Christianity, it's Christ, Christ, Christ; or maybe love, love, love; but nothing more than that. Loving Christ means being a brain dead fraud and using ignorance as the excuse for sin. How do you love Christ without doing something? Nihilists don't answer questions.

Nihilism in action is demonstrated by the war against the lower classes, which conservatives promote. They can't explain why they try to end all welfare and social programs. Peripheral statements refer to saving taxes. Yet they throw away money, so they can use money as the excuse for the war against the lower classes. At this time, they are throwing trillions of dollars at the richest of the rich—the Wall Street investors and energy companies—while cutting medicaid, energy assistance to the needy and all other forms of welfare to reduce the government deficit. Why take from the poor and give to the rich? No direct explanation. Nihilism teaches people that there aren't supposed to be explanations. Supposedly the tax give-aways stimulate the economy. But the rich don't spend the money on products, they reinvest it in a bloated stock market. And Greenspan raises interest rates to stifle the economy, because it's supposedly increasing too fast, while tax give-aways go to the rich. Why are interest rates being increased when stimulating the economy is the purpose of the tax give-aways? You don't get answers where nihilism rules.

During the Reagan years, there was a fake logic for the war against the lower classes. Fake logic is an element of nihilism. You have to destroy all real evidence before fake logic can be used. Destroying objective evidence is an element of nihilism. One of the points of fake logic was that "welfare queens" were driving around in Cadilacs while ripping off the government. One person was found doing that. So it was portrayed as a universal characteristic of welfare, and everyone on welfare had to be impoverished some more. One example doesn't create a universal principle of sociology—except where nihilism rules. Satan can produce any number of examples, when they are allowed to be used as universal principles of sociology.

Then there is the tangential logic. Some persons on welfare were having babies. That was supposed to mean that welfare increases the population. Then you substitute the people for dollars and claim that giving welfare creates more welfare. Supposedly, people love welfare so much that they give up their jobs and go flocking to welfare, when it's available. Objective evidence always shows the opposite. People use welfare as an opportunity to get back on their feet and become productive in every way they can. This used to be the logic of the subject, until a new god came along and started changing all of the rules on the basis of nihilism.

The sadist thing about this whole subject is that people can't just look at the motives and say it's greed, jealousy, elitism, bigotry and hate instead of a fake formula for fixing something. People aren't allowed to question motives, which is another element of nihilism which satan teaches the world. When motives can't be questioned, fakery replaces reality.

Every perversion is a supposed fix for something. Fixing is the universal justification for perversion, where nihilism rules. Everything needs to be improved; but with nihilism, there is never an improvement. The fixing of nihilism always starts by destroying everything of value and replacing it with something indefinable. The imaginative solution is loaded with every virtue and miracle that can be put into slogans without providing any evidence of the truth.

Nihilism is a key element of the religion of the demons, which ruled human religion for at least five thousand years. Murder your children on an altar, and we will make your corn grow and make sure you win your wars. How can both sides win the wars? Both sides were sacrificing to the demons. If there was a drought preventing the corn from growing, it was because the subjects didn't worship adequately. There is no such thing as walking a straight enough line for snakes.

This is the faith that evil persons promote. They say, "trust us." Trusting them means throwing away all evidence and logic. You aren't supposed to study the Gospels to put your faith in Christ; you are supposed to hug a vacuum while burning books. Christ said people are supposed to look and listen to develop understanding and judge for themselves what is right (Mat 15:10)(Mark 4:13, 7:14, 8:21)(Luke 12:57, 24:45)(John 8:43). People will be destroyed in a pit until they acquire the objective reality for determining in their own minds what is right. Putting faith in Christ is learning and doing what he taught, not being controlled as a mindless pawn. Controllers need mindless pawns; so they teach nihilism. Life requires knowledge based upon objective evidence.
