I'd be interested in discussing Nietzsche's views on Christianity, but this probably isn't the thread to do it in.

No, I'm not a moderator, but I play one one TV . That is, I've been posting here long enough that I have a fairly good idea of how things work, so I'm not shy (perhaps not as shy as I should be) about pointing people in what I think is the right direction. If I singled you out, it was because you had asked a specific question that we've discussed in some detail fairly recently.

Of course I have a 'problem' with the non-Christian viewpoint -- I think it's false. But I've known quite a few very intelligent non-Christians, and I don't think non-Christians are all either stupid or especially wicked.
