I never meant someone, who quoted Nietzche as if he was a god, had anything positive to say for those who do believe in God. I shouldn't judge a philosphers by the people who read their books but like they say a bird of a feather flock togehter and that guy keeps mean misotheistic company.

I see it this way if Nietzche rejected Platonism, then Plato must be right. I prefer G.K. Chesterton & C.S. Lewis among others. I can imagine all the scoffs directed at me, for me bringing them up.
