Neuhaus, John
"One would like to believe that people who think of themselves as devout Christians would also behave in a manner that is in according with Christian ethics. But pastorally and existentially, I know that this is not the case, and never has been."
San Jose Mercury News

Nietzsche, Friedrich Wilhelm
"Faith: not wanting to know what is true."

"For the old gods, after all, things came to an end long ago; and
verily, they had a good gay godlike end. They did not end in a "twilight,"
though this lie is told. Instead: one day they *laughed* themselves to
death. That happened when the most godless word issued from one of the gods themselves--the word: "There is one god. Thou shalt have no other god before me!" An old grimbeard of a god, a jealous one, thus forgot himself. And then all the gods laughed and rocked on their chairs and cried, "Is not just this godlike that there are gods but no God?"
He that has ears to hear, let him hear!
[Zarathustra, in Thus Spoke Zarathustra, First Part]

"The very word 'Christianity' is a misunderstanding--at bottom there was only one Christian, and he died on the cross."

"I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time."

"In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point."

"The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the
world ugly and bad."

"The man of the future who will redeem us not only from the hitherto reigning ideal but also from that which was bound to grow out of it, the great nausea, the will to nothingness, nihilism; this bell stroke of noon and of the great decision that liberates the will again and restores its goal to the earth and his hope to man; this Antichrist and anti-nihilist; this victor over God and nothingness - he must come one day."
