i'm sorry, but that seems pretty closed-minded to me. no brownie points for "love thy neighbor" or "turn the other cheek"?

I was poking fun at whoever poster I quote (I can't even remember his/her username.) I dig what Jesus had to say but like Ghandi said I don't dig his followers.

or if you prefer nietzsche: "there was only one christian and he died on the cross"

I should probably seriously read Nietzsche someday. This might sound dismissive but everyone I know who likes him a lot is insanely pretentious or a suburban kid who really wants to be nihilistic; its put me off.

nietzsche's arrogance is infectious. the simple fact that most people don't understand him at all hints that he's right.

I wasn't aware that it worked like that.

Nietzsche is interesting though, even if I don't agree with everything he said.

My religion would be called assbangagogoggion.

Instead of being promised just "Virgins" when you die. (You don't know if they are sexy little girls or ugly pokemon freaks) I would determien that you would get nice hot girls. We would blow everythign up for no reason. Killing people would be rewarded. Sparing lifes would be punished with losing your own. We would eat as much as we wanted. Sex would be a daily MUST. There would be no money at all. No freedom of religion. Everythign is run by the church. So there is no government. We would train our diciples to fight liek ancient ninjas. NO ONE WOULD MATCH UP TO OUR GREATNESS! Honor and glory would be the only thin that was worshiped.

It would be paramilitary, and we'd raise an army that would rent itself out for merc operations and birthday parties. We'd convert the homeless and the drug addled into clean, furious killing machines that we could use to overthrow succeding states and South Carolina for its past transgressions.

It would have a Christian template but operate heavily in druadic and primalist maxims. We'd eat a macro-biotic diet, and there would be several "achievements" that would allow one to achieve true physical virtue. They would be:

1. Iron Cross, held for 5+ minutes
2. Iron Man
3. Ultra Marathon
4. Iditarod completion
5. Volvo Ocean Race completion (sans death)

Also there are several animals you must best in combat. The ones marked with a star allow for a single, blunt weapon to be included in combat.

1. Wolf
2. Bear*
3. Shark*
4. Lyger
5. Singular piranha*

One must live a life free of drug and alcohol use. Marriage would be considered a limitation of the growth potential and therefore barred. Copius amounts of sex would be encouraged. All carries of any STD, curable or otherwise would be executed immediatly.

Our Major holidays would include secular ones, such as Thanksgiving and Memorial Day. the 4th of July would be a recognized holiday for the religios freedom that gave us the oppertunity to be. We would also have our own centered around the 5 feats and 2 more; The 15th of April (reanimation day) and November 1st (marking the end of harvest)

(am I taking this too far? I'm bored at work)

Within the confines of the city we'd live in an agrarian society, with tradeing and bartering as our only currency. Only portable instruments would be allowed. Those illitarate by the age of ten would be subject to execution.

Tattoo's are mandatory.

Its what nu-metal kids read to seem intellectual.

I've read only a brief smatter of his things for the same reason Ethan didn't read any; his followers are almost as bad.

One of the few people I actually respected on the matter once said to me, "he's better than the rest of his lot because he said, at the end of his life (and work essentially) that he was trying to get at "x" (why I am so wise), and because of this, he was better. He wasn't caught up in only allowing certain people to get his work, or as if it was some achievement, he wanted people to know what he thought."

I never found out if thats true, or if I agreed with it. But you can get the idea that he didn't associate with philosophers for the same reason, he likely thought they were pretencious ****s.
