It is also definition 1 in Merriam Webster's collegiate dictionary.
The Supreme or Ultimate Reality.
Definition of nihilism1a: a viewpoint that traditional values and beliefs are unfounded and that existence is senseless and useless Nihilism is a condition in which all ultimate values lose their value.— Ronald H. Nashb: a doctrine that denies any objective ground of truth and especially of moral truths2a: a doctrine or belief that conditions in the social organization are so bad as to make destruction desirable for its own sake independent of any constructive program or possibilitybcapitalized : the program of a 19th century Russian party advocating revolutionary reform and using terrorism and assassination
If there is no truth and life is meaningless, then I will create my own reality! I will make my own meaning!From the orohodox perspective, this is how people come to worship idols. They abandon The Truth as being their God, and instead make some created thing their god.
From our perspective, homosexuality has its root in idolatry. It has to do with the worship of created things. The form of a man. The feeling of sexual pleasure.
But what is the easiest way to fall into idolatry? Reject absolute truth, only accepting relative truths. What does truth become? This absurd thing that really amounts to whatever it is a person wills truth to be. Of course it is corrupting.
If The Truth is your God, and you sincerely worship God, it has a much different effect on the psyche that worshipping any created thing. Worshipping created things leads to delusion, and the sliding further and further into delusion. Worshipping The Truth however, gradually makes one less delusional.
If laws were passed that dictated that sodomy or sexual immorality deserved punishment, I wouldn't see anything wrong with this. Hope thst clears things up.
Perverts should be grateful that the laws are so relaxed, because they certainly are not entitled to be treated so kindly.
If people who cheated on their spouses were prosecuted, I would say the cheaters had it coming.
Just to make it clear that I am not simply picking on those who wear leather assless chaps
here has been a very intentional effort in philosophy for the last couple hundred years to replace Christianity. The result is that words don't mean the same thing anymore. If you can't change what was written, change the meaning of the words that were written!
