Replying to Avatar Bill Cypher

My read on Nietzsche was that one of his primary issues was Christianity is often viewed as a list of thou shalt nots. A blob on the couch meets that requirement.

By contrast think of stoicism, real stoicism not internet influencoor to lost boys stoicism. The entire philosophy is a set of virtues that you must strive to live up to. Inaction is failure.

There are a few passages where that model doesn't apply, but it is the primary model of instruction given.

As for christians vs what the bible says, if they all arrived at the same place that is surely a failing on the part of an allegedly all knowing beings ability to write a decent instruction manual.

Isn't everything a joke? What causes you to say that, though?
