Exactly. As usual did u come here to be schooled? Men did conspire in the name of religion thru all those times its all there and goes back as far into evolution as u like. As for anti~semites we could easily refer you back to 15centuries of Roman (patrician) Catholic rule & those intrigues that included relentless isolation of the Jews? The original proto Christians were Jews, Jesus, John Baptist,Mom & Dad , the apostles, dummy.
Nietzche is not against religion per se dum dum, in fact he praised the great loft & poetry of the language for that time & antiquity as violent as it was in some parts. He was also writing at a time when his assessent of western civilization was absolutely spot on, hardly civilized in practice. theoccidentalobserver.net
His second fact — an unquestioned assumption, really — is that the entire concept of an actually-existing, transcendent, all-powerful God is utter nonsense. Stories about holy visions, miracles, redemption, and divine intervention are nothing more than “foeda superstitio” — vulgar superstition. This does not, however, mean that Nietzsche was opposed to ‘God’ in principle. He believed that every people and every culture need to create their own concept of religion, and of the divine. These things are a formalized recognition of respect and reverence toward that which embodies one’s highest values. Each culture and each era needs to create its god(s) anew, appropriate to their situation in the world. Western Europeans have utterly failed in this task |
