I'm not very familiar with Nietsche, but this one seemed waaaaaaaay over the top when I first read it. Claiming that Christianity is the worst thing humanity has ever developed? How ridiculous when I considered the mega-millions of deaths committed under Fascism, Communism, and other versions of Totalitarianism. Then I recall that these are 20th century phenomena. Next I recall Carl Sagan mentioning that perhaps 11 million people were executed during the witchcraft hysteria in the middle ages. Hmmmmmmmm........
