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

More From Friedrich Nietzsche

"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!

God is a gross answer, an indelicacy against us thinkers- at bottom merely a gross prohibition for us: you shall not think!

Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

What is called for is an exquisite balance between two conflicting needs: the most skeptical scrutiny of all hypotheses that are served up to us and at the same time a great openness to new ideas. if you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you. on the other hand, if you are open to the point of gullibility and have not an ounce of skeptical sense in you, then you cannot distinguish useful ideas from the worthless ones.

I have a nice bookshelf in my office, but not my house. i'm crass, but not that crass.
