Absolutely. One doesn't
read philosophers like Nietzsche, one
studies them. When one tends to read them, the result you'll get is something along the lines of what Jack V. Savage posted in this thread - how Nietzsche is "outdated" and "does not belong in modern discussions", as if the goal that Nietzsche had in mind when he wrote his books was the same these modern people have - namely, creating the utopia for the masses that would be based on the spirit of "Ni dieu, ni maitre". What a way to miss the point, eh?
I also agree as far as atheism goes. It's really annoying to look upon these modern atheists, these wretched decadents who imagine their
knowledge makes them superior to religious decadents. One doesn't become sublime via the
breadth of his knowledge but by the
height of his soul. Again, I am not going to waste my time by going deeper into this, I know you get the point.
