    I know he hated nihilists. But that's only because he himself was trying to get away from it. He was trying to avoid it because it was all to familiar to him.
    He was a Schopenhauer fanboy, and he didn't like that particular brand of pessimistic nihilism. To say that Nietzsche is devoid of nihilism(for the overwhelming most part) is to not understand his writings.

    Just because I like Nietzsche doesn't mean I agree with EVERYTHING he says. Also if he really said that nihilists believe in an afterlife it's still ridiculous, and was probably used in a metaphorical sense, not a direct one.

    And no I cannot read German, but I know that nietzsche didn't write that little article, lol.

    Calling me clueless about Nietzsce is like calling the Pope clueless about the Bible. I've read almost everything he has written.

    Sheesh. You seem to love him just to show a contrarian stance to the misguided masses that demonized him.

    BP, you should read some Søren Aabye Kierkegaard instead, it's more healthy for you

    At any rate, the conclusion is non-transferrable because it is dependant on suppositions that may not be true, ignoring any internal fallacies.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Kierkagaard rocks. Explains away the need for dogma (and thus dogmatic conflicts) in 3 sentences.
    "A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man."
    Don Vito Corleone: The Godfather, Part 1.

    I've read Kierkegaard. So what?

    Don, I just want to be 'great' and play it safe.
    You can go ahead and be the greatest.

    God cannot believe in a god. That's a fact. If I am to follow in his example I am to do the same. If I'm the same as god, then he cannot hate me.

    Not a fact, Because for it to be fact you would have had to speak to God to ask him. Since God's existance can not be proven or disproven - your making an assumption. Hince the rest is nothing but a exercise in fallacy.

    If I am to follow in his example I am to do the same. If I'm the same as god, then he cannot hate me.
    Continue with your logical fallacy.

    Again your making an assumption that you are the same as god. That would be incorrect since you refuse to believe in yourself. Since no one believes in you - you can not be the same as god.
    O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean

    I wasn't addressing your little exercise in vanity at all. I was specifically mentioning that I like Kierkagaard's writings. Very clever, down to earth.

    This is correct. The Bible writes: there's no other god than God. Ergo, God does not believe in a god. This is no deduction, but true if that was God's saying and His statement being correct.

    If your statement is: God cannot believe in God (which I assume you are trying to say), then you lost me. Isn't that the same as saying that you don't believe in yourself? How is it possible that I reply to your post? I'm I seeing things that don't exist?

    I used "cannot" instead of "does not" because it is not known if god exists or not. God (if he exists) does not believe in himself as in he doesn't worship himself. It's illogical to assume that.

    Tell me. There can't be a difference. The bible states that we were made in his image(meaning our spirit) and most atheist philosophy says we made him out of our own image(of the spirit). So you cannot say anything that would not be applicable.
