Here the spirit becomes a lion who would conquer his freedom and be masterโฆ Who is the great dragon whom the spirit will no longer call lord and go? โThou shaltโ is the name of the great dragon. But the spirit of the lion says, โI will.
Friedrich NietzscheWhoever regards human beings as a herd and flees them as swiftly as he can will no doubt be overtaken by them and impaled on theirhorns.

Friedrich Nietzsche. . . an absurd problem came to the surface: 'How COULD God permit that (crucifixion of Jesus Christ)!' . . . the deranged reason of the little community found quite a frightfully absurd answer: God gave his Son for forgiveness, as a SACRIFICE . . . The SACRIFICE FOR GUILT, and just in its most repugnant and barbarous form - the sacrifice of the innocent for the sins of the guilty! What horrifying heathenism!
