What mendicancy for Christ's sake, Mr. Rhodes!

What a pious lie, Mr. Rhodes - but in this you are in the good company
of the Nietzscheans on this list (the circle, the circle, the
circle...like little redundancy monkeys)! Even Mr. Callihan now gives
you reason.

>Nietzsche's philosophy makes people old and haggard

Unlike metaphysics, the "science of God", which makes you stupid even
when you're young, and where the sorting of the differences reduces to
that boring old dualism, so dear to exegetic Christians: "since more
people depend on sensation than on reason, the result is that more evil
men are found than good" (Aquinas). A good physical basis for moral
Evil...If there is stupidity in this world of Man, you can rest assured
that it comes from reason being divorced from its senses, because
sense-perception is meticulously blocked and reason can only come up
with monstruosities. As for the little children with lots of questions
and papers to write - and no knowledge or imagination to write them
with, fear not Mr. Mendicant Seminarian, they are already impervious to
Nietzsche's thought. Already Christianized. Somehow, they share with
you this inability to grasp either his words or the real around us, with
the result that they, like you, understand nothing. Nietzsche would
never turn in his grave because of such blabber. Sweet innocence of
having nothing to say.

Now, as it regards you, someone who pleads to be e-mailed because "I'm
lonely", who has wet dreams about von Tiers creations (betcha that
neither the cold shower or the Aquinas oil did you much good there), and
yet is unable to take up challenges (four times now we have challenged
you only to see you beat your tail home - Moore, cosmology of the ER,
Good&Co, Riding the Waves), unable to pick any card and pursue the game
as a good sport, this is all we have to give -

The little Hitler in each one of us is the product of thousands of years
of orgastic yearning and yearning for knowledge, both drives having been
suppressed by mystic distortion and inhibition of natural sexuality.
