God is Dead - Chesterton vs. Nietzsche

[442Tapeguy]

If there is no God...then...why be "good?" Why not, "Eat, drink, and be merry...for tomorrow we die?" No, there is a raging desire in man to believe in Goodness...& God. In the quietness of my heart...I have met Him. And, He loves me. Love Him or hate Him...either is to His favor...for if you love Him, He will always be in your heart...and if you hate Him...He will always be on your mind. WSB Clinton Twp., MI

"That which is done out of love is beyond good and evil". They always leave out the love - they forget that before the Fall man was beyond good and evil. The death of God is a catastrophe and poses all sorts of problems in his view. The morality he rebelled against was the fake morality of social morality - the Christian morality without the belief in God, such as the English had in his time. Still, I think Nietzsche was immature in many ways - never really grew up.

poor poor poor...rabble...learn to pronounce his name please.

@ItsAroundMidnight hahaha... but he dose not deserve it...!

[maratom34]

Of course your intellect is on par with Chesterton?

[Pythagoras211]

Christian are eager to misrepresent Nietzsche. Nietzsche's will to power probably has nothing to do with dominating others. It's about developing personal military discipline. Although it can be read as a sadistic creed if that's what Christians are trying to see in it ;)

[BlackLaval]

@Pythagoras211 Militar discipline? And why did Nietzsche put forward Cesare Borgia as his model of man? Well, the fact is that Nietzsche was su completely asystematic and contradictory that you can quote him on any position you like.

[Pythagoras211]

Nietzsche with the ominous background music. GK Chesterton set against a blue sky. Borderline Christian propaganda.

[BlackLaval]

@Pythagoras211 And what music would you put as the background of someone saying that he is dynamite.

[BlackLaval]

@Pythagoras211 I haven't watched the whole video, and I think this IS in fact bad christianoid propaganda that doesn't do justice to Nietzsche, but neither does to Chesterton.

No wonder ,Nietzcche became insane & died in a lunatic asylum.

[egl2r]

lol is that a blob of steel wool "Nietzsche" has pasted to his upper lip? And did he go about with a tape recorder playing sinister music whenever he spoke? ;)

[jeavila80]

Totally wrong.... I must say that you really need to read nietzsche's work.

[TheLaw055]

@jeavila80 Please explain your "Totally wrong" ????????

[jeavila80]

@TheLaw055 Read "the antichrist" and then the zaratustra and you'll see why... don't be lazy haha.. i have just 400 something characters to explain. Nietzsche never meant to literally say god was dead... it was a whole phillosophical idea... the guy in the video representing Chesterton is obviously based just on his own concepts. Nietzsche was a vitalist..Just take a look at all the wars based on religions.. Nietzsche already knew religion was a cancer for society.

[TheLaw055]

@jeavila80 Sir,I do not want to insult you or to sound condescending,but when I read Nietzsche, - and many many years later became a lecturer in" history of philosophy" I do not think you were even born. "all wars based on religion"?????? what a sweeping statement to make,. but more importantly (if true) it this an argument to abolish religion? to reform it? to ignore it? or to prohibit it by law? etc.( N.B. I picture you as a South American neo - marxist ?) let me know if I am right.

[jeavila80]

@TheLaw055 Not to reform it... not to ignore it... not to prohibit it... Not to accept dogma ... Nietzsche wanted people to throw of the shackles of our misguided Christian morality and become supermen - free and titanic. However, without God he felt that the future of man might spiral into a society of nihilism, devoid of any meaning; his aim was for man to realise the lack of divine purpose and create his own values.

[TheLaw055]

@jeavila80 I agree, you have explained the essence of Nietzsche. I totally misunderstood you.

[jeavila80]

@TheLaw055 :)

[VanXIInX]

It seems that the creator don't understand that he was speaking about a very big chaos and his name is related to the begining of tribulation...
