When you see christians and not christ this happens! ******* German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche ( 1844-1900) condemns Christian love because he thinks it is an outcome of fear: I am afraid my neighbour may injure me, and so I assure him that I love him. If I were stronger and bolder, I should openly display the contempt for him which of course I feel. It does not occur to Nietzsche as possible that a man should genuinely feel universal love, obviously because he himself feels almost universal hatred and fear, which he would fain disguise as lordly indifference. His noble man --who is himself in day-dreams--is a being wholly devoid of sympathy, ruthless, cunning, cruel, concerned only with his own power. King Lear, on the verge of madness, says: I will do such things-What they are yet I know not--but they shall be the terror of the earth. This is Nietzsches philosophy in a nutshell.
