Friedrich Nietzsche Part 2

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (October 15, 1844 August 25, 1900)was a nineteenth-century German philosopher and classical philologist. He wrote critical texts on religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy, and science, using a distinctive German language style and displaying a fondness for metaphor and aphorism. Nietzsche's influence remains substantial within and beyond philosophy, notably in existentialism and postmodernism

thus spoke zarathustra made the bible obsolete

I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

@selvmordspilot I'm pretty sure Nietzsche didn't "invent" Zarathustra. I think that was the ancient Persians' equivalent to God in the religion Zoroaster. It would make since for him to mock an organized religion (Judeo-Chritianity) by comparing it to a similar, outdated one. Good stuff, thanks for posting this.

@tusi1390 Well, the first thing that comes to mind for me would be the idea that no one really followed what were supposedly Jesus Christ's teachings other than himself.

@VexT916 : no longer important and/or no longer taken serious. I think that's synonymous with "obsolete". At least this is what I meant, which is to say, I agree about everything except the "maybe" ;)

@elieobeid77 Well, by dialecting about the death of god in christianity, Nietzsche was implying this to all other monotheistic religions axiomatic to christianity, like islam or judaism - he merely kept it simple to not detract readers, cynics, and critics too far from the main thesis of his book, "Thus Spoke Zarathustra."

[VexT916]

@selvmordspilot No, it just philosophically commented that maybe god is no longer important or held adamantly as a belief by people any longer.

[tusi1390]

"In truth, there was only one Christian, and he died on the cross.'

What did he mean?

[elieobeid77]

i wounder why he criticized the Christians only...not the jews not the Muslims...they all believe in god so if i was an atheist i would not criticize a religion, i would criticize all religions...because all religions believe in life after death...I know many atheists (philosophers, scientists... and normal people) they all attack the Christians..that makes me laugh at them lol
