We’re talking about literary worth not general ideas or moral instruction. For your information, no one denies the King James Bible as a standard of English Prose and Nietzsche in the original German is one of the great aphorists.

And that's just my point. To some people the substance, meaning, and content outweigh whatever merits the prose may have. I would rather entrust my imagination to an author who will open me up to a worldview grounded in deep, Biblical truth than one who is communicating a bunch of self-indulgent, twisted nonsense.
