Nietzsche’s logic was perfectly good. His starting assumptions were faulty.
A very good article by E. Jeffrey Ludwig. Thanks very much for posting, Kaslin.
Marxists, Mohammedans and their minions & morons ALERT!
Every time they try to hold Nietzsche up as some sort of intellect I get ill.
Can we just face the fact that Nietzsche was a pretty F’ed up guy.
He was raised by a father that was a pastor, therefore Nietzsche grew up surrounded by religion and all the trimmings that come with it (i.e. morals, values, and traditions) — So his life would have been one centered around “being good and being moral,” as raised by a Lutheran pastor.
It was during the Franco-Prussian War where most believe that he contracted syphilis from a brothel that he frequented quite often. The syphilis went untreated until his death, however, many also suggest that that is also when he developed a taste for alcohol and became alcoholic.
So, consider the life of a man that was raised by a father with great religious views and Nietzsche, from birth was taught the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, then infect him with a sexually transmitted disease that affects the mind and the body and add alcohol and then add in that Nietzsche also became a homosexual (some suspect) during some point his life and you have a man that MUST denounce that there is God, he has to denounce that there is God or he knew he was going to suffer for all of his sins and not living the life that he grew up with and certainly not the way his father had raised him.
Nietzsche wasn’t a great philosopher, he was a man with a sexually transmitted disease, suffering from guilt, shame, and remorse for not living the life that he had grown up with.
He had to kill God in order to try and find some shred of peace in his life before he died...That isn’t new and sure as hell doesn’t make him a great philosopher.
It makes him a dead homosexual who died of an untreated sexually transmitted disease and more than likely alcoholism.
