My grandmother, a truly good woman, raised me and took me to church religiously (sorry) as often as she could. I listened, and even read the Bible as best as a pre-teen could. At one point a buncha guys in robes immersed me backwards in a fountain, causing great paroxysms of coughing.
At that point I decided they were all nuts, and possibly trying to kill me, but my options were limited, so I continued to go to church and Sunday school. Some of the parables were quite interesting (actually, they still are), so paying attention wasn't particularly difficult for me.
One day I asked a nice matronly woman teaching the class, "Where did God got all his materials from when He created everything?" I think she told the church elders on me on suspicion that some older boys were instigating trouble thru me.
Some weeks later, another kid asked if God created mankind 'cause he was lonely, and that got me to thinkin, so I asked the lady, "Who was God's mother?"
My grandfather had a talk with me about respect for custom and tradition and the church and all, and my grandmother stopped draggin me to church with her except for reg'lar Sunday services, from which one of my uncles or my grandfather walked me home immediately afterward.
Back at the house, my grandfather or my Aunt Mary (who wouldn't set foot in a church if Jesus Himself asked her, unless he had a beer and a reuben sandwich for her in there) would present me with an impressive list of chores for me to do that day before dinner. -

Nietzsche was wrong.
God was only pining for the fjords. -

But, then again, Nietzsche was wrong about most everything.

If there WAS a god, and he DID create the universe, it's cause he didn't have a little brother to f*ck with.

Say what you will, at least Nietzsche had the good sense to spend quality time in an mental hospital.

Nietzsche's writting got cherry picked a lot especially by the anti-smemite crowd and those looking to run without moral restraints. He split from Wagner in his later years due to
Wagner's Jew Hate. Nietzche's friends and he himself realized he had mental problems. Apparently he often overdid self medication particulary with Chloral Hydrate as a seditive. He did have some good one linersthough.
