Subject: Re:  Where, oh where is the jovial unity?


I would like to point out something: philosophy is just as much of a faith as
religion.  It is a faith in logic as opposed to a faith in God.  Differences
born of philosophical ideology have been just as destructive as religion.  The
Nazis in particular were fans of Nietzsche's philosophy (albeit highly
misinterpreted).

Strange then that India, a largely Hindu country, did not kick that crook
out.  Even stranger that India insisted upon giving her a state funeral.
Very Strange.  The Indian Goverment must be delusional as well.  Why don't
you go there and enlighten it?
  The Gothic Cathedrals are ominous, dark, and gruesome, eh?  Well, then,
what about the Sistine Chapel?  What about Hagia Sophia before it was
turned into a mosque?
  Religions do nothing but seperate people,eh?  Maybe so.  But I don't see
that Nietzscheanism has brought about an era of jovial unity, at least not
on this list.

Toodles,
