Week #35: 10-1-2013 Quote of the week from Unholy Writ (pg. 331): It is interesting to note how few self-styled Christians live up to the moral standards espoused by the founder of their religion. As Nietzsche pointed out; “The type “Christian” reassumes step by step everything that . . . [Christ] originally negated . . . . The Christian becomes citizen, soldier, judge, worker, merchant, scholar, theologian, priest, philosopher, farmer, artist, patriot, politician, “prince”—he takes up again all the activities . . . [Jesus had] forsworn (—self-defense, judgment, punishment, oath-taking, distinguishing between nation and nation, contempt, wrath—). The whole life of the Christian is at last exactly the life from which Christ preached deliverance—The church is as much a symptom of the triumph of the anti-Christian as the modern state, modern nationalism—The church is the barbarization of Christianity.” Nietzsche felt that the failure to abide by the dictates of its founder stood as an indictment of Christianity. He made this clear in the following note: “What is wrong with Christianity is that it refrains from doing all those things that Christ commanded should be done.” .” For more, please see unholywrit.
