@007iloveJesus The Joker never did anything in the name of jesus. The Crusades, the US invasion and massacres in Iraq and Afghanistan, Abu Grahib, the subjugation and destruction of native peoples who were not "believers", were all done in the name of jesus......Might make one consider who the real "joker" is.
@007iloveJesus Heath Ledger's Joker is nihilism in it's purest form. The character values only chaos and destruction, completely devaluing life. This is everything Nietzsche was against. Nietzsche wanted us to take a meaningless existence and create a meaning out of it. The Ubermensch is a constructive force, only destroying old conventions of ethics and values to make room and build new ones.
@HybridD91 Nihilism, as defined by Nietzsche, is believing there is no point or meaning in human existence, no point in having values, ethics, and morals, and therefore devalues life. To Nietzche, Nihilism threatened the individual's love and reverence of life, and the individual's passions and drive to reach goals. A meaningless existence can only live for non-existence.
Nietzsche considered Jesus' self-sacrifice a form of nihilism because it went against the instinct of self-preservation.
@evilmick66 Nietzsche claimed that the intelligent individual would realize unconsciously or consciously, that there were really no monistic/unified or eventual purposes to his instinctual "goals", and this would discourage the individual and make him unmotivated. The will to power was a VERY important book. It's the answer to all the conundrums of why people do nothing, they psychologically quit long, long ago. Religion was a psychological remedy to this stagnicity. A therapeautic phantasm
We cannot prove that god exists or not.However,i do not believe in god.Christians think that their god first creates a human,then he forces them to pray for him,kneel before him,and suffer for him.It's nonsense.Maybe,just maybe,some god exist,but im sure its no Jesus,Allah or whoever.
THere are no great nations,gods.....onlly inviduals,each with his own talents and abbilities.Let's use them and create new future.
@SiegmundHildebrand It's not God who makes us suffer it's humans; sometimes you have to walk away from a situation knowing it will give you pleasure but is immoral or against what Christ believed in. If you'd isolate yourself from society for a time being you'd realize this to be true. I lived as a semi-hermit for a time enjoyed nature, meditation,a dog and some animals for company and I was happier than when I lived in town - people are just too much. I am looking for a home and some land.
@NorthNorth2009 There is no contemporary historical record documenting the existance of a character named Jesus Christ. Therefor, any words or actions attributed to him are at best wishful thinking. Nietzche lived and proof of his existance provides Noble wisdom and comfort.
@NorthNorth2009 If you have proof, share it with the scientific world so that your proof can be subjected to the the scientific method and the world can see your proof as demonstrated fact, or discard it as all previous "proof" thus subjected has been found without basis. Why would you choose to keep your proof secret when so much turmoil, hate, and deceipt is brought about by believers in faith alone?
My God, I love Nietszche. He's right about God needing to be a dancer to be worth believing in. He's a hell of a dancer; his dance floor is the human heart, and his partner is the tragedy of life.
@007iloveJesus Whilst Nietzsche is trying to teach us that we should cut our own path, God is telling us to obey his every word. I wonder who is most satanic of the two?
@metalxorxdie Why are a Gods words more truer than any others? Imean which God are you talking about? Zeus? Osiris? Allah? Yahweh? Vishnu? Shiva? Brahma? Enlil? Marduk? They are all as 'true' as each other. Faith in God is subjective and truth is objective. Truth has nothing to do with your subjective beliefs. At least there is tenable proof that Nietzsche was real. I would take the opinion of a real person over a imaginary person any day.
@Howieeeeex You speak of truth as if it was a monolithic structure which you know and understand. That's a dangeruos position to take. Truth is as subjective as anything else which a subject conceives of. The only absolute truth is that there is no absolute truth.
@23moksha Which truth are we discussing human truth or observable truth. Because when we feel the weight of gravity this is monolithic, when we look at a shape its delineations are monolithic. This is an observable truth. And there is human truth which is subjective but only as subjective as our biology will allow, and considering we are all 99% biological identical we can create a uniformed perception. Though human truth will ultimately be subjective observable a priori truth is objective.
@Howieeeeex A subject much too complex to deal with in this forum. Lets just say that as I see it, both "human" and "observable" truth result from our way of thinking and perceiving. They are not qualities of reality (for lack of a better term), but of the way we make that reality fit into our world view. I'd recommend you watch some Robert Anton Wilson videos- if you're as inteligent as you seem, it might give you a new view of truth.
~Chimpanzees laugh. But the laughter of man that Nietzsche may have been talking about was the effect of complex-language-derived "awareness." ~We love life because it is instinctive, unless life becomes too painful; at that point we would love to die. ~The struggle against being overwhelmed by the tribe is the struggle to be true to one's previous mental development. ~The appreciation of "music" is instinctive. The "music" instinct is the foundation of language. ~Convictions make warriors.>>>>>
>>>>>~Faith: cognitive and perceptual biases developing during or after life's (personal) experiences. ~The foundation of rationality is language. Language is related to perceived imagery and is intimately tied to emotion (sometimes in subtle ways). Language is also sometimes incongruous. ~Power is the possession of the qualities required to survive and flourish during one's struggle for survival.
Belief is merely a weaker form of faith. What we believe is what we perceive.

"Behind your thoughts and feelings, my brother, stands a mighty commander, an unknown sage - he is called Self. He lives in your body, he is your body. There is more reason in your body than in your best wisdom". - Nietzsche
"He who writes in blood and aphorisms does not want to be read, he wants to be learned by heart." - Nietzsche
"And to me too who love life, it seems that butterflies and soap bubbles, and whatever is like them among men, know most about happiness." - Nietzsche
@BrimstoneLandscapes I'm not sure but I dont think it wsa originally him. And I think the original quote went as follows; "What cannot destroy me, only makes me stronger."
As I can think of plenty of things that wont kill one but will make one in a feeble weakling, not only in the body but in the mind as well. I never understood this phrase, it's retarded. But change "kill" to "destroy" and it makes a whole lot of sense.
i beseech you my brothers,remain faithfull to the world,and believe not the ones who speak to you of supernatural beings,they are poiseners,if they know it or not!
I love him and his philosophy, I'm sure If I were taught his philosophy instead of the shity religious crap I learned I would have been much happier and not border line insane sometimes...
@TheHomelessCripple great point my friend. yet Epictetus said a fantastic thing: ''It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows''
That's a lot like what Socrates said in his Allegory of the Cave where a person leaves the cave and sees the light and who thus has dimmed vision when he's placed back in the dark cave resulting in the people in the cave thinking that his apparent ascension led to his downfall. Interesting.
The most profound moment in your life will be when you figure out that your purpose in life is whatever you want it to be. The second most... is what you'll do next.
