Well, that's the antithesis of the series' message. It still doesn't show that Snake promoted believing in nothing at all, which is a blatant falsehood. Metal Gear has never been about "black and white" and never will be, so if one only sees in absolutes, then one will never find any satisfaction. Which begs the question why one would follow the series in the first place. It actually does promote nihilism, actually. Even Piggyback Guide recognized that it did. Or do I really have to remind you of the analysis on the back of its MGS3 strategy guide? In fact, I have just finished transcribing the section onto the Themes article, so please read it. Wikipedia also noted it there as well and cited the strategy guide. And Nietzsche, if I must remind you, is called the father of nihilism. I don't care about Piggyback's analysis. Snake had beliefs that he followed. Don't try and be a wise guy.
