This is probably the book you saw an article on:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Antichrist
Yeah, Mr. Nietzsche defintely wrote some anti-Christian stuff in the 1800s. Free speech, you know :-) His opinions, interesting way of thinking about many things - religion, society, culture...and if I recall, pretty radical/shocking to many people at the time.
"God is dead!" - and so forth.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Nietzsche
He was a German philosopher. His stuff is very tough for me to understand as well. But, me, I don't have the patience to slog through it. Wikipedia does a fair job of summarizing a lot of basics about him in the link above, in an understandable way, I thought.
Alex could help us all out a bunch, I'm sure :-)
I think.....the link on the home page starts with a joking reference, playing around with something Nietzsche wrote...but I also don't really understand the joke or reference...maybe it's linked to the actual writing to give proper credit for the small part Dr. Bob used...?
You could maybe ask Dr. Bob over on Admin?
I don't think anyone's been messing with the page, though. I seem to recall it's been this way for a long time...though I could be wrong.
and Muffled...SO glad you're still posting..
:-) :-)
