existentialism vs nihilism

[Fat_Hippo]

Huh, by that definition I'm most definitley an existentialist. Don't believe in god or any pre-ordained purpose, but don't think that means I should just torment the shit out of everybody just for the fun of it.
Great, now I already know that I'm an atheist and an existentialist. Any more ways I could classify myself?

What are people called who don't believe in destiny but in decisions and luck?

"Crapshooters". "Serendipidists".

EDIT: That's prolly wrong. "Crapshooter" implies gambling, not knowing either way, just throwing it out there.

Serendipity would be a fortuitous accident. I've had many.

Though I used to "all about" nihilism as a teen, I think I'm closer to existentialism/absurdism now.
