Getting a little off topic here, I was reading the Jefferson Bible today, thinking "This will be neat, all of the crap removed and only his moral teachings left", but while reading it I was shocked at how, well, rubbish they were. Maybe Nietzsche was right.

etc...Friedrich Nietzsche's vehement attacks upon Christianity, encapsulated in his famous dictum that "God is dead," pose a problem for the reader who agrees with Nietzsche and yet does not wish to give up a certain basic Christian belief. However, careful analysis of both Nietzsche and the synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) reveal an interesting pattern: the elements that Nietzsche opposes do not appear in the teachings of Jesus at this point, but rather in John and the writings of the Church fathers. In the synoptic Gospels, the earliest extant writings we posses, Jesus and Nietzsche often parallel each other, teaching similar doctrines.
Jesus did not teach the will to death and the ascetic ideal, but rather a strong individualism compatible with Nietzsche's philosophy. If this is the case, God need not die, even if the Church preaches dogma that appears to make that necessary for the free spirit to liberate itself from the yoke of the herd and its guilt. An extensively modified, but still religious, Christianity can complement and reinforce the Nietzschian worldview. Using the Gospels to find the true message is difficult, for they are evolving documents which have been modified by the Church over two millennia. However, enough support can be found, even with the warping of the originals, to support the view that Jesus originally taught something very different from the Christian religion as we know it.

Quoting Nietzsche is a slippery slope - whatch out for those sharp right turns, you can break your neck without even knowing.

Now I finally see the benefit of being catholic and drinking wine: That's a way of getting a booze and assuring yourself of what you feel of as a good company while being up your arse.
