Hypothetical Question

[RomansFiveEight]

Actually it means a rejection of all moral and religious principles; liberal or conservative, Christian or Atheist. That's the "webster definition". True blue Nihilism is "Life doesn't matter and what we do in life doesn't matter". The second word, "Journey", as our poster confirmed for us, indicates that he has gone through moments of those sort of conflicts with the meaning of life and his purpose in it. It's an honest, heart-bearing and open screenname.

If I were in a more troll-ish mood, I might point out that one perspective is to focus on the first word and the former life; and disqualify and discount any thoughts he might have after that; while another perspective in this thread is to focus on today, the journey right now, and spend less time where he once was. But, I won't do that

Either way, why are we speculating? The OP very clearly laid out the meaning of his screenname and what it means to him in post 13. So that's the end of the discussion, really. What nihilism, and what it means to the OP, and what "journey" is and what it means to the OP, are quite clearly laid out.

I didn't choose the screen name that includes the word "nihilistic", which means a disdain for traditional values.

Bryan, I've yet to find a dictionary definition of nihilism that is defined as "a disdain for traditional values."

So how is it hardly up to the OP to answer your question based on you creating your own definitions of words??

You all are amazing with more insight than I could ever hope to glean. I am very grateful for all of your information that you have shared.

I am afraid that I've gotten side tracked after my pastor asked me to help be a liaison between the mission board and the congregation. But now that I've settled into that role I have time to go back to my main passion and contact the organization that Romans suggested. Thanks again.
