Jill Green got a knock on the door Tuesday, the day, she says, everything tends to happen. Rather than meeting someone with a hopeful message when she went to answer the door, Jill says, she met someone with a reasonable message.
“‘Be free of your guilt,’ he said. ‘nothing matters anyway. Heck, we have no sin. The guy that came up with that idea is dead. Why let his whole idea of morality make your life boring? Your life is pointless, but you don’t have to make it boring!’” Jill told reporters what the Nihilist evangelist had said.
“Man,” she later said, “that was the most moving pep-talk I’ve had in a while. There are very few motivators as good as knowing you’ve got nothing to lose.”
Jill had just broken up with her boyfriend and lost her job. Mostly because her boyfriend had been her former employer. But Jill says that Sean the Nihilist really uplifted her.
“Behold!” he told her. “I have come to foretell to you: in a thousand years thou both shall be dead, and it shan’t matter.” When she asked Sean about her job, he said, “Don’t sweat it! There may be no hope, but there certainly isn’t any pressure, either!”
It seemed that Sean was also quite the romantic. Jill said that Sean had described her eyes as “deep and captivating as the Void.” Sean also went on to supply help to his “child’s” healing process in getting over her old boss/boyfriend. He does slightly more for his children than pass out fliers.
When reporters caught up to Sean, he was very talkative. He led with, “Did you read my flier?” We read his flier.
Front page: “Is there any point?”
Second page: “What made you think this page would answer that question?”
Sean explained his contentious, meaningless viewpoint. “Have you ever seen meaning? Has it ever walked up to you and said, ‘Hi, my name is Meaning!’ There is no evidence.”
Sean represents the non-profit, non-charitable organization Nihilists United. Just what, you may ask, does Nihilists United do? Nothin. “We don’t help hungry African kids. We don’t help juvenile delinquents. We don’t feed the poor and hungry. We don’t hug trees and we don’t save the whales. We like to stick to what’s important.”
Theology Professor Father Duncan was asked his opinion on the topic, and he had this to say: “You Only Live Once. After that, it gets better.”
Nihilism remains the fastest growing philosophy in the world.
