Spiritual history & Point-of- view Did not believe in Christianity and rejected idea of it Says people made up Christianity to “lighten our hearts” Once said, “ After Buddha was dead, his shadow was still shown for centuries in a cave- a tremendous, gruesome shadow. God is dead; but given the way of men, there may still be caves for thousands of years in which his shadow will be shown. -And we- we still have to vanquish his shadow, too” (Nietzsche's The Gay Science, s.108, Walter Kaufmann transl.). http://izquotes.com/quotes-pictures/quote-the-very-word-christianity-is-a-misunderstanding-in-truth-there-was-only-one-christian-and-he-friedrich-nietzsche-255968.jpg

Philosophers existential/ aesthic Point-of-view Argued that the Christian system of faith and worship was not only incorrect, but harmful to society because it allowed the weak to rule the strong Wanted man to create his own values Contribution to existentialism was idea that men must accept that they are part of a material world, regardless of outside opinions https://www.pinterest.com/sfaithharper/humanist-pantheism/

Ethical Point-of-view Nietzsche claims that we have no free will and hence we have no moral responsibility His positive ethical views are best understood as combining a kind of perfectionism as Nietzsche's implicit theory of the good, with a conception of human perfection involving both formal and substantive elements. Takes neither his positive vision, nor those aspects of his critique that depend upon it, to have any special status. http://quoteaddicts.com/topic/morality-and-ethics-quotes/
