“Destiny of Christianity. --
Christianity came into existence in order to lighten the heart; but now it has
first to burden the heart so as afterwards to be able to lighten it. Consequently
it shall perish”.
From Nietzsche's Human, all too Human, s.119,
R.J. Hollingdale
This quote according to Nietzsche is displaying that
“Christianity came into existence” in order to admonish mankind about their lawful/unlawful
acts towards one another. Christianity can help admirers to distinguish the good
and bad in our society if, one is willing to uphold the truth. But if admires don't follow the historical
sacred text of Christianity it can lead to a path full of unhappiness and an immoral
lifestyle.
I chose this quote because it’s interesting how Christianity
is one of the oldest most sacred institutions in world history. Nietzsche, in
my opinion seems concerned about the lifestyle of those during his lifetime and
believes if one followed the ideology of Christianity it can help them make
ethical decisions.
