The Downward Trend Into Nihilism

Nietzsche would call Christianity nihilistic. He was hoping we could be strong enough spiritually, strong enough creatively that we could digest our reality and create a new direction for ourselves. That's what he was seeking. And the warning to Christians who default back to Christianity is, as I said, it's a fear response. It's avoiding trying to escape the problem. In fact, it's trying to escaped the problem, but ending up going back into sort of a nihilistic perspective. You're not overcoming nihilism. You're actually getting absorbed a bit because Nietzsche would call Christianityihilistic. Blame it on German and sell. Burn his books in your backyard or something like that.
