In this week’s Jesus and Mo cartoon, called “shudder,” Mo expresses some verbal tics at the nihilism that believers think is an inevitable byproduct of atheism.
Speaking of possible verbal tics, I see that the Man from Galilee and the Woman from “The Cock and Bull” both start sentences with “so” — something that has been known to raise the ire of commenters in our host’s occasional posts griping about usage.
I say it’s an effective technique for kick-starting dialogue in medias res.
Argumentum ad consequentiam
Don’t get me started on ‘cringe’.
Nihilism is the only rational response! “Nothing really matters” Arthur Balfour is supposed to have said, & no doubt he was reflecting a long expressed view from the past.
