True Existentialism requires a disbelief in God, unless you're a believer so-called Christian Existentialism, something penned by Kierkegaard.

No, but I'm just saying, it's like if I said I was a Christian even though I didn't believe in God, scripture and all that jazz.

I still find that you can question existence and still believe in a greater power. I guess it's just comforting.

I think you guys are confusing nihilism with existentialism.

No you can't, Ben.
In fact, I'm in the midst of reading Note From Underground whenever I find time.

I'd suggest you read some Camus, it's rather good - even if you don't agree with what he says.

Don't call me an idiot, as you can see by my sig, I'm a brunette kinda guy.
But Scarlett is rather attractive.

By the way, there is such a thing as Christian existentialism.
But I think it's more fitting to call it theistic existentialism.
