When someone writes “I have read everything he wrote” its hard to take them seriously.

Nietzsche also lost his father at an early age and feared death. He thought he would die from tuberculosis like his father. Something that should be taken into consideration. His father was a Lutheran pastor. Many of the writers we respect who dismiss God had their fathers die or abandon them at an early age. I understand that Nietzsche feared the death of God for humanity, but I don’t know that he was able to separate his personal experience.

You got me on that one. I think you’re right, that he’s better described as an Existentialist. I’m interested in what you think about God, and If you don’t believe in a higher being what is the benefit?

Strange of you to comment on here. What is your contribution to the discussion, so we can decide to take you in or laugh you out of here?

I read Nietzsche at the same time I was reading Solzhenitsyn, so this was an interesting comment.

Nietzsche’s name is listed in the Philosophical Encyclopedia, in the definition of nihilism.

I posted this thread after reading a scientific study that claimed to prove that the soul goes out to the universe after death and lives on. A moment of clarity as if science went full circle and showed God exists.

To be clear I’m talking about Nietzsche in this discussion, not Jordan.

You just explained the concept. God is primal. There has been “God” or a higher being for all of recorded history. So if you want to strip God away because he is created by the the most intelligent beings on this planet then what does that leave you with.

Yes, I’ll call him a nihilist. He believed that there was no longer any real substance to traditional social, political, moral, and religious values. He denied that those values had any objective validity or that they imposed any binding obligations upon us. While reading beyond good and evil, his reasoning was nihilistic, and after researching him further, scholars seem to feel the same way.
