    Google says it is spelled Nietzsche. Anyway he went insane inspite of his lack of faith. Maybe he reasoned that insanity was the natural progression of logic.

      Perhaps he had a hereditary that would mess up any brain. Neurological degeneration is completely irrelevent to his previous philosophising.

          Syphilis was it? Either way, the point still applies. His degeneration due to this condition is completely irrelevent to the points he has made.

            Yes, he was quite an immoral *******. He should have not rejected his childhood faith. That was not a very logical decision.

              yeah it sure was stupid of him to reject the slavery to revealation... Lincoln, I am the messiah, worship me and you shall have eternal peace in heaven.

                His personal life, neither, is none of my concern.

                And he did right to reject the dogma from his earlier life...

                  im still trying to understand this distinction between the creator and the created that precludes people from using ad hominems...

                    Many christians these days are insane... And that "Blind atheist" link is misleading. There is no such thing as a blind atheist, when there exists no evidence for religion. Nietzsche was in his right turning away from the stupidity of religionism. I turned away from it, and downright rejected it because I have common sense.

                      I hate to tell you this, Albert, but this thread is an indication that there are actually people who are "worse" at philosophy than others.

                          Nietzsche wasn't even an athiest per se. His declaration that God was dead wasn't, as popularily thought, a declaration of athiesm (would an athiest claim that God was dead? rather, an atheist would say there is and never was a God). It was more of an awakening to the fact that God is irrelevent.

                          anyway, Hume and Hiedegger also would appear to be on my side on this. i'm still trying to understand what is wrong with ad hominem arguements. the artist is not so distinct from the art that he can not be judged as well. just as you can extend your criticism of a painting being a bad painting onto the painter, calling him a bad painter, the creator himself is up for debate

                                Look there is no evidence for christianity. Your religion is not better then any of the others out there either. In fact your religion is evil and homophobic. I recommend you read a book by a real atheist and not by some blind fundamentalist trying to paint atheists as blind.
