Special Guest Blogger: Friedrich Nietzsche

With the exceptions of Aristotle and Socrates, i am probably the most-recognized name in philosophy a man who's insights were as awesome as my moustache implied but my prediction that some kind of master race would soon drag itself out of the slime and rule the world did provide the inspiration for Mussolini and Hitler so on some ways a big tick, in some other ways not so much.
Hitler, who might otherwise have faded out of history as just another failed art student with funny facial hair, picked up a copy of my book and was inspired by my talk of the rightful owners of the world being 'supermen' and anyone with a passing interest in modern history knows exactly where that line of thinking went.
If i wasn't too busy being dead by then, i would probably have had a few words with Hitler about the Fuehrer's liberal interpretation of my work, especially as i hated anti-Semites and anyone who hated on someone because of their religious beliefs.
My most quoted famous quote is 'God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him' comes from my seminal work, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, which is not the cheeriest thing you would ever read but many people have tried to explain what i meant by it depending on whether they are religious or not but it really isn't difficult.
I wasn't saying that God literally choked to death on a peanut, basically i said believing in a supernatural realm and a belief in concepts like good and evil was holding man back and without a God to worry about, there could be positive new possibilities for humans to fully develop. The Christian God would no longer stand in our way and we will become more creative and understanding of our World.
I lived a full life and learnt some valuable lessons including that some human beings are nice, some nasty, some clever, some stupid but if there is a God and he can see the madness that is going on in his name and has for the past thousand years, God would definitely start favouring the ones who don't believe in him.
