is, like the humanities, teachable only to a very limited extent: the rest consists in realizing anew for oneself what every Christian has always known, but can explain only to a receptive mind.

is a farce in that it refrains from doing all those things that christ commanded should be done.

What is wrong with Christianity is that it refrains from doing all those things that Christ commanded should be done. Friedrich Nietzsche

is a missionary religion, converting, advancing, aggressive, encompassing the world... a non-missionary church is in the bands of death.

is a religion of self-derision, self-mutilation, subjection, sacrifice of all freedom, all self-confidence of spirit, and all pride.

The Christian faith from the beginning, is sacrifice the sacrifice of all freedom, all pride, all self-confidence of spirit, it is at the same time subjection, self-derision, and self-mutilation. Friedrich Nietzsche

is a religion which brought the diseased idea of meekness, the devil, and sin in the world. Though the cure Christianity offers has now been rejected, the sickness which it taught continues to persist.

Belief in the sickness as sickness. It was Christianity which first painted the Devil on the world's wall... it was Christianity which first brought sin into the world. Belief in the cure which it offered has now been shaken to its deepest roots: but belief in the sickness which it taught and propagated continues to exist. (nietzsche 'the wanderer and his shadow' $67 : pdf)

is a salvation religion, which is to say, it is active and demanding of continuous struggles to be 'saved' by converting to certain principles and vying against sin and the negative aspects of society.

To Weber, Christianity was a salvation religion that claims people can be 'saved' when they convert to certain beliefs and moral codes. In Christianity, the idea of 'sin' and its atonement by God's grace plays a fundamental role. Unlike the Eastern religions' passive approach, salvation religions like Christianity are active, demanding continuous struggles against sin and the negative aspects of society.

is a sense of cruelty towards oneself and others... hatred of mind, of pride, courage, freedom, libertinage of mind, hatred of the senses, and of joy in general.

A certain sense of cruelty towards oneself and others is Christian... hatred of those who think differently... the will to persecute. Mortal hostility against the masters of the earth, against the 'noble', that is also Christian... hatred of mind, of pride, courage, freedom, libertinage of mind, is Christian... hatred of the senses, of joy in general, is Christian. . . Friedrich Nietzsche
