For most readers, this note will hold little value. However, it is an important part of my thinking, so I saw fit to include it. Nietzsche was a rather odd Prussian man who lived in the late nineteenth century. He went insane, but before that, he proposed a rather interesting philosophy. His idea was that man ought to find purpose in destruction. His ideas absolutely denied God, and were very hedonistic in concept. Man's purpose was (according to the Christian term) sin. Thankfully, very few have adopted this ideal. There is no eternal hope, thus freeing man and unleashing hm on the temporal. This is a terrible thing, but also a look into sinful man's mind. Nietzsche did make one proclamation that ought to be fundamentally disturbing to Christians. "God is dead." Three words, but ultimately true in respect to the Christian atheistic philosophy. This idea is the ultimate sin, but has very subtle consequences, which I will discuss in my next note.
