Title: raving....
Review: Judging from the mania and hatred of his tone, Nietzsche was suffering when he wrote this from whatever (syphillis?) would soon destroy his mind. But of course it's impossible to say how much an influence that had no what he wrote here about Christianity.The book is useful mainly as a study in how one can fuss and fume at Christianity all one wants, but in the very forms of our debate we tend to invite in Christian assumptions that have informed our culture for two millennia. Nietzsche, who was a pastor's son, might have given his own assumptions a look or two before writing this, keeping what he liked and discarding what didn't nourish him. Needless to say, stereotyping, blaming, and attacking an entire belief system does no one good, least of all the attacker."When one hunts monsters, one must be careful not to become a monster oneself--for when you look deeply into an abyss, the abyss looks deeply into you." -- Nietzsche
