Friedrich Neitzsche

He was a total badass, but at the same time, I feel like he was just dying for someone to prove him wrong. Yea, he argues against Christian morality, and insists that everything that we value (meekness, humility, compassion) is all out of resentment for the low position of the slave or worker. Christianity sprung from those who needed a religion, not those who didn't. How can we ignore the fact that it completely favors the oppressed and pitiful. And I don't think any Christian would argue that, but now, looking at Christianity in the wealthy, powerful society of America I wonder what Nietzsche would say. Maybe it just goes to show that we have used our religion to gain power, or maybe it just shows an extremely distorted reflection of Christianity, if America really was mostly "Christian", it'd look obviously different. Either way, something's wrong with this religion, regardless of Friedrich being right or wrong... I sure wish I could chat with him.
