"god", "immortality of the soul", "redemption", "beyond" - without exception, concepts to which i have never devoted any attention, or time; not even as a child. perhaps i have never been childlike enough for them? i do not by any means know atheism as a result; even less as an event: it is a matter of course with me, from instinct. i am too inquisitive, too questionable, too exuberant to stand for any gross answer. god is a gross answer, an indelicacy against us thinkers - at bottom merely a gross prohibition for us: you shall not think!

More From Friedrich Nietzsche

God is a gross answer, an indelicacy against us thinkers- at bottom merely a gross prohibition for us: you shall not think!
Religious Thinking Answers
I am too inquisitive, too skeptical, too arrogant, to let myself be satisfied with an obvious and crass solution of things. god is such an obvious and crass solution; a solution which is a sheer indelicacy to us thinkers - at bottom he is really nothing but a coarse commandment against us: ye shall not think!
Thinking Arrogant Coarse
The most dangerous type of atheism is not theoretical atheism, but practical atheism -that's the most dangerous type. and the world, even the church, is filled up with people who pay lip service to god and not life service. and there is always a danger that we will make it appear externally that we believe in god when internally we don't. we say with our mouths that we believe in him, but we live with our lives like he never existed. that is the ever-present danger confronting religion. that's a dangerous type of atheism.
Inspiring Believe Filled Up
Atheism and agnosticism signify the rejection of certain images and concepts of god or of truth, which are historically conditioned and therefore inadequate. atheism is a challenge to religion to purifiy its images and concepts and come nearer to the truth of divine mystery.
Atheist Rejection Challenges
God is a too palpably clumsy answer; an answer which shows a lack of delicacy towards us thinkers-fundamentally, even a crude prohibition to us: you shall not think!
Thinking Religion Answers
I have not come to know atheism as a result of logical reasoning and still less as an event in my life: in me it is a matter of instinct.

Similar Quotes
If one's cause is supported by sound reasoning, there is no point in using violence. it is those who have no motive other than selfish desire and who cannot achieve their goal through logical reasoning who rely on force.
Selfish Logical Reasoning Goal
The church has realized that anything and everything can be built up on a document of that sort, no matter how contradictory or irreconcilable with it. the faithful will swallow it whole, so long as logical reasoning is never allowed to be brought to bear on it.
