Är det fel att följa "Amor Fati" ur en kristen synpunkt?

What is good?—Whatever augments the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself, in man.

What is evil?—Whatever springs from weakness.

What is happiness?—The feeling that power increases—that resistance is overcome.

Not contentment, but more power; not peace at any price, but war; not virtue, but efficiency (virtue in the Renaissance sense, virtu, virtue free of moral acid).

The weak and the botched shall perish: first principle of our charity. And one should help them to it.

What is more harmful than any vice?—Practical sympathy for the botched and the weak—Christianity....

The weak and the botched shall perish: first principle of our charity. And one should help them to it.

The strong and the oppressive shall perish: first principle of our charity. And one should help them to it.

The Jews are the most remarkable people in the history of the world, for when they were confronted with the question, to be or not to be, they chose, with perfectly unearthly deliberation, to be at any price: this price involved a radical falsification of all nature, of all naturalness, of all reality, of the whole inner world, as well as of the outer. They put themselves against all those conditions under which, hitherto, a people had been able to live, or had even been permitted to live; out of themselves they evolved an idea which stood in direct opposition to natural conditions—one by one they distorted religion, civilization, morality, history and psychology until each became a contradiction of its natural significance.

The history of Israel is invaluable as a typical history of an attempt to denaturize all natural values: I point to five facts which bear this out. Originally, and above all in the time of the monarchy, Israel maintained the right attitude of things, which is to say, the natural attitude. Its Jahveh was an expression of its consciousness of power, its joy in itself, its hopes for itself: to him the Jews looked for victory and salvation and through him they expected nature to give them whatever was necessary to their existence—above all, rain. Jahveh is the god of Israel, and consequently the god of justice: this is the logic of every race that has power in its hands and a good conscience in the use of it

This “bearer of glad tidings” died as he lived and taught—not to “save mankind,” but to show mankind how to live. It was a way of life that he bequeathed to man: his demeanour before the judges, before the officers, before his accusers—his demeanour on the cross. He does not resist; he does not defend his rights; he makes no effort to ward off the most extreme penalty—more, he invites it.... And he prays, suffers and loves with those, in those, who do him evil.... Not to defend one’s self, not to show anger, not to lay blames.... On the contrary, to submit even to the Evil One—to love him....

Jag fördömer kristendomen; Jag riktar mot den kristna kyrkan den mest fruktansvärda av alla anklagelser som en anklagare någonsin haft i munnen. [...]. Den kristna kyrkan har inte lämnat något orört av sin fördärv; den har förvandlat varje värdering till värdelöshet, och varje sanning till en lögn, och varje integritet till själens elakhet. [...] "Själarnas jämlikhet inför Gud" - detta bedrägeri, denna förevändning för alla de enfaldigas elände - [...] Parasitism som kyrkans enda praxis; med sina anæmiska och "heliga" ideal, suger allt blod, all kärlek, allt hopp ur livet; det bortomstående som viljan att förneka all verklighet; korset som kännetecknet för den mest underjordiska konspiration som någonsin hörts talas om – mot hälsa, skönhet, välbefinnande, intellekt, själens vänlighet – mot livet självt ...

Denna eviga anklagelse mot kristendomen ska jag skriva på alla väggar, varhelst murar finns - jag har bokstäver som även blinda kommer att kunna se... Jag kallar kristendomen för den enda stora förbannelsen, det stora inneboende fördärvet, den en stora hämndinstinkten, för vilken inget medel är tillräckligt giftigt, eller hemligt, underjordiskt och tillräckligt litet , - jag kallar det den enda odödliga fläcken på människosläktet...

Och mänskligheten räknar med tiden från dies nefastus när detta dödsfall inträffade - från första början Kristendomens dag!— Varför inte snarare från dess sista? – Från och med idag? —Omvärderingen av alla värderingar!...

t is a painful and tragic spectacle that rises before me: I have drawn back the curtain from the rottenness of man. This word, in my mouth, is at least free from one suspicion: that it involves a moral accusation against humanity. It is used—and I wish to emphasize the fact again—without any moral significance: and this is so far true that the rottenness I speak of is most apparent to me precisely in those quarters where there has been most aspiration, hitherto, toward “virtue” and “godliness.” As you probably surmise, I understand rottenness in the sense of décadence: my argument is that all the values on which mankind now fixes its highest aspirations are décadence-values.

I call an animal, a species, an individual corrupt, when it loses its instincts, when it chooses, when it prefers, what is injurious to it. A history of the “higher feelings,” the “ideals of humanity”—and it is possible that I’ll have to write it—would almost explain why man is so degenerate. Life itself appears to me as an instinct for growth, for survival, for the accumulation of forces, for power: whenever the will to power fails there is disaster. My contention is that all the highest values of humanity have been emptied of this will—that the values of décadence, of nihilism, now prevail under the holiest names.

Vad är godhet? – Vad som än förstärker känslan av makt, viljan till makt, makten själv, hos människan.

Vad är ondska? – Vad som än kommer ur svaghet.

Vad är lycka? – Känslan av att makten ökar – att motståndet övervinns.

Inte belåtenhet, utan mer kraft; inte fred till vilket pris som helst, utan krig; inte dygd, utan effektivitet.

De svaga och de misslyckade ska gå under: första principen i vår välgörenhet. Och man borde hjälpa dem till det.

Vad är mer skadligt än någon last? – Praktisk sympati för de trasiga och svaga – kristendomen...
