Nietzsche's philosophy's romantic thinking - basically it's a Utopia.

But it's still deep inside my heart and I don't know if i'll ever get it out of there.

And the more thinking atheist has his focalpoint by earth, to paraphrase Carl Sagan - this is where we make our final stand.

Earth is to be loved together with it's humans, we're not supposed to dilute our minds with jibberjabber which make good excuses for the hate of the earthly/the flesh (which's plain retarded).

We're supposed to love eachother and ourselves and when people finally'll understand this we'll have a good earth - but this won't happen.

Although I'm not an academic philosopher - I'm but a thinking, free spirit.

I do believe that Nietzsche was a misanthropic philanthropy (he said in the gay science that misanthropy's the only true philanthropy and i do very much believe that this is true) and a lover in disguise. The opposition and hate against christian's totally valid and I like to compared this to a lense whereas Christians have their focalpoint (of the lense) aimed at a target beyond the physical world.

the harsh attacks on Nietzsche from Russell's not completely defendable as I'd call Nietzsche more of a poet and a thinker than a philosopher as he's not in any way academic in his works and they're not objective they're strictly subjective and this explains why many people dislike existentialism. They're dionysian in understanding but according to me Appolonian in thinking/acting.

I've twisted/understood Nietzsche into fantastic love and i do believe that hate is a derivative of love.
