I´m not fond of Nietzche´s philosophy...except for those parts that attack Christianity....not because I hate Christianity but because it deserves it...for what it has DONE and not just because it IS Christianity. Here´s a quote from Nietzche by way of Russell.....

"What is it that we combat in Christianity? That it aims at destroying the strong, at breaking their spirit, at exploiting their moments of weariness and debility, at converting their proud assurance into anxiety and conscience-trouble; that it knows how to poison the noblest instincts and to infect them with disease, until their strength, their will to power, turns inwards, against themselves...until the strong perish through their excessive self-contempt and self-immolation."

Damn! Well said.
