Romantic advice to women — Nietzsche version

don-juan-demarco

Nietzsche comments wryly on contemporary religious morality:

“One believes one must disapprove of Cesare Borgia; that is simply laughable. The church has excommunicated German emperors on account of their vices: as if a monk or priest had any right to join in a discussion about what a Frederick II may demand of himself. A Don Juan is sent to hell: that is very naïve. Has it been noticed that in heaven all interesting men are missing? — Just a hint to the girls as to where they can best find their salvation.”

The Will to Power, Section 871.

    kind of a soup there.

    if you think saints are not interesting or that Jesus is not interesting .. your value system is beyond inverted.
    all virtues, and Ayn Rand knows this, are a reflection of Christianity. theres no virtue outside it
