Well emo, goth, punk that sort of thing. You know what I mean. I figured thats were you were getting the nihilism from.
Well, I'll admit I went through a "goth phase" 4 years ago. But at that time, I was a strong catholic. It wasn't until 2 years later, that I started to not believe. And by that time, I was waaaay over the whole goth thing. And it wasn't until about.....5 months ago I started to get into the nihilistic ideas.
God exist or not?
The question is not easy to answer. It's coming not from Our World, but from Upper World, in which we aren't existing and nobody has right answer. But I have been comparing different opinions and I found the best answer in Kabbalah(translation from Hebrew is receiving).
The most basic principle in Kabbalah concerns giving. And because that force is giving, it creates "something" to receive what it gives. The giving force in Kabbalah called "Creator", and what it creates is called "creation".
This creature goes through a process of learning and development, and at its end discovers the full grandeur and beauty of its Creator. This revelation of the Creator to the creature is the essence and the purpose of Kabbalah. It is the purpose of the whole creation.
Kabbalah teaches us how to receive the Creator - literally for the creature and the Creator to merge. The result is an experience of the tremendous beauty and joy in every moment of every day.
What do you think?

😆 Holy Crap, you really need to calm down bro 😆
I believe in god. I don't think he is a he or she though. I still believe he is a person. Just not a he or she. I cant really explain this part. I prefer to think of him as an it. A power that controls all and may help you if you ask for it. An omnecent being that is linked to the minds of all living things. Thats my belief.
From Publishers Weekly
Among authors trying to bridge the gap between science and spirit, former astronaut Mitchell brings unique credentials. Originally scheduled for the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission, Mitchell, as told in this smooth blend of autobiography and exegesis, journeyed to the Moon in 1971 (and generated great controversy over ESP experiments he conducted on the flight). As he gazed on Earth, surrounded by blackness and an unfathomable number of stars, he experienced "an overwhelming sense of universal connectedness" that was to change his life. Within a few years, he had left NASA and founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences, aimed at the systematic study of the nature of consciousness. At the institute, he came to some fascinating conclusions, detailed here and based on principles of resonance, regarding a possible natural explanation for psychic powers. In later years, Mitchell has developed a "dyadic" model of paired opposites-mind/matter, life/death, etc.-that he also covers here and that owes as much to quantum physics' wave/particle duality as to Taoism's yin/yang. Mitchell isn't afraid to go out on a limb; his contention that the universe "intended" to evolve to higher levels, for example, goes against mainstream Western science. He grounds his ideas in data and reason, however, making this a strong offering for those who enjoy the books of Larry Dossey, Ken Wilber and others pushing the envelope of the science/spirit paradigm.

O, you mean THAT theory!
The conspiracy one! Yeah!
Where scientists and archeologists combined have used the fact people depend/trust on them to lie about how humans came to be!
Seriously, have you EVER seen a REAL fossil, and TOUCHED one, and TESTED whether it was real yourself? NO.

If there is none else besides the Creator, why does He send us pain? He doesn't. He is benevolent. He made us egoistic, and that egoismism what pains us because it is opposite from Him. So why did He make us opposite from Him? Becouse otherwise we wouldn't know what it means to be like Him. We wouldn't have anything to compare it with. 🙂
