Your thoughts on how man kind still depends on a form of a god, diety or higher form. Myself, I still think of an afterlife but nessicarly a Christian, Budist, Muslam, Shintouistic after life. More or less a re-incarnation-like system. I believe a final afterlife provides inequalitly, and that if souls just go and dont return, how are they reproduced, and how can it balenced out?

The goal of Buddhism is to be one with all and thus, nothing. Nihilism in common use means "I don't give a shit, I'll do what I want" but can also be interpreted as "Nothing matters, I might just as well become nothing"... but very few people can give up the thirst of life. Even suicide is a motion on will.
My personal philosophy goes beyond nihilism. All values are simply a network of irrational judgements and thus their value is relative to each other and mostly a personal preference, though human the animal has some natural inclinations. It's not tabula rasa but a node in a network. If I like something, I like something. I'm entirely free to change my mind and often rational discourse(yet based on irrational wants) changes by preferences.
Values are a living, changing network, brain being a microcosm of it, a model.

There is no life without change. Perfect is static, perfect is dead. Fuck heaven.
