Nihilism is a lie. No one believes in nothing. Belief is inescapable. It is not a matter of if you will believe something, but of what you will believe in. If you, in a fit of crestfallen madness, turn your belief away from everything, you do not turn to the nothing. You cannot find nothing anywhere. What you turn to is your belief in nothing. You can believe in your belief, but you can also believe in your disbelief. You may believe your disbelief to be the most reasonable belief to have, but you cannot have no belief. You will believe in something and if it is not everything in Christ, it can be as absurd as putting your everything into nothing, which when you come to think of it, is really quite something.
There is a fine line between inconsolable and gullible. Those who refuse to be comforted by Christ will go as far as to seek comfort in discomfort. Those who stop looking to the one thing begin looking to anything. Those who refuse to go the one way begin considering any way. Those who reject the one life are in danger of seeking life even in death.
Proverbs 8:36
All they that hate me love death.
