----“ Christianity was from the beginning,
essentially and fundamentally, life’s nausea and disgust with life, merely concealed
behind, masked by, dressed up as, faith in “another” or “better” life”. –
Nietzsche’s The Birth of Tragedy, p.23, Walter Kaufmann trasl.
The
interpretation I made from this quote is the idea that Christianity was presented
to be determined one way as faith for the believers, but in essence the roots
of its practice revealed the same issues faced in society without religion. The
deception involved with Christianity was unknown to those who didn’t follow.
To me this quote stills apply today
because many people who follow Christianity believe that the practice of their
religion is the only way of living. Meanwhile the negativity revealed by the
recent behavior of those who follow and teach the religion has shown they are
or can be just as bad. The fact that you have fundamental ideas based on a
following doesn’t mean you will be exempt from the issue’s that plague our
society. Faith can sometimes be used to cover up or masked many issues.
