Because religions are founded on nihilism.

The Bible, for example, describes it well. The myth of Adam describes the birth of nihilism.
No. religions are formed to crush individuality and crush nihilism. They are founded to confound nihilism.
You are right: religions are remedies born to deal with nihilistic anguish.

But precisely for this reason it is nihilism to found them.
You are talking your usual bollocks.
You might as well thank Vegans for the Carnivore diet.

Do not you see it?

Without nihilism there is no religion.

Without nihilism there is no religion.
Without Oxygen there is no murder.
Does that mean you attribute murder to oxygen?
Let me answer that for you.... NO!

So what is the reason for religions?

Why were they born?

Weren't they born as a remedy for nihilistic existential anguish?
A remedy that is now ineffective. In fact the gods have fled.

Replaced by what?
By the technique.
Which, however, understood in this way expresses the delirium of the will to power.

Jokes can be fun, but then we
need to confront ourself in the concrete.

Why not just admit defeat (nay annihilation) like an adult should and move on? Why is that such a rare thing to see? There were no jokes--only analogies. Analogies are a useful tool in any argument.

Defeats due to completely wrong analogies?

But what are we talking about?

There is no idea here what nihilism is. It is truly amazing ...

What? Trump's wrong-doing is off the scale, dude!

Right from the start, when as a candidate he refused to release his tax returns to the voters, as every other candidate has since Carter led the way. Those who had cause to doubt Trump's integrity (lol) were like "Surely he's not going to get away with that?" and those who thought he was great were "What's the big deal? I'm okay with him hiding stuff from us. Why do we have that stoopid rule anyway?"

So, even before he was elected he was up to his neck in treason and corruption.
Right. Not releasing your tax return is sooo much worse than mass murder, displacing millions of people, and completely destroying entire countries.

Wow, you wokie fuckturds are really something else.

Of course it's the arms industry pulling the strings, lurking silently in the background. But do wokies say anything about that? Of course not. They are too busy virtue-signalling, worshipping the military (because it's not fashionable at this time to do otherwise) and being manipulated by it, and thinking twitter comments make them 'social justice warriors'. It's much easier to constantly find 'offence-on-behalf-of' the latest 'victim group of the month' where none was intended (or even received), than to get off one's fat arse and take risks.
I am aware that you don’t like wookies, but keep in mind that they don’t like warfare and they don’t worship the military.
They do when it's fashionable to do so, as I pointed out.
I hear you.

When do you think it would be fashionable to adore the military? During wartime, maybe?

You clearly don't have a clue what I'm talking about so best you don't read what I write.

Thank you for the advice.

What must’ve confused me was the bit about worshiping the military because it would not be fashionable to do otherwise.

Religions were born to explain what appeared to be supernatural, and grew to include customs and ceremonies. What that had to do with nihilistic existential anguish is beyond me.

You have no evidence for that trajectory.
Where such evidence of NRM are available tell a different story.
