Nietzsche and stuff

The last term here at Cambridge has snuck up on me.  Over the last two terms I have not been too busy with 'homework'.  There was lectures to attend and long reading lists to keep up with, but as far as daily busy work I was completely free from it.  I enjoyed the first two terms.  It was relaxing in many ways, just sit, listen, read, and learn.  Well, that has all changed this term.  I have several papers to do and a variety of other assignments that are due each week.  Two of which are papers on the topic of Nietzsche.  For Philosophy of Religion I am writing on N.'s concept of truth and exploring his rejection of religion and vehement hatred of Christianity.  For my Ethics 'and Faith' course I am writing on whether or not one must accept N.'s Übermensch if N.'s truth and rejection of Christianity is accepted.  

Now, in my reading of N. I have been expecting some sort of profound argument against Christianity.  In what I have read so far nothing logical, philosophical, or any legitimately coherent argument has presented itself N.'s writings.  They do however, reek of hatred, bitterness, and stubbornness.  He condemns Christians for lying, being hypocritical, and holding culture back as a whole; but in all honest what anti-religious writer hasn't done that.  All in all I am sadly disappointed that N. has not given me something new to think hard on.  Just the same old anti-Christian rhetoric that comes from emotion rather than philosophical thinking and logic.  Maybe when I get into more specific writings on the Übermensch I will be more impressed with his philosophy. 

On a semi-but-not-really-related note: now that I have lots of homework which I actually have to turn in I must return to my procrastinators creed.  This means that the law of inverse prioritizing is in effect (I call it the law of lesser tasking).  Basically what this means is that I will probably be making more blog posts as a method of procrastination.
