According to Richard Gudmundsen, Friedreich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was the German philosopher who most influenced the arch-criminal Adolph Hitler. Nietzche held that Jesus Christ and his entire body of teachings was a diabolical plot formulated by the Jews to take vengeance on the human race. In his book "The Genealogy of Morals: An Attack" (1887), he wrote:
Nobody, up to now, has doubted that the "good" man represents a higher value than the "evil", in terms of promoting and benefiting mankind generally, even taking the long view. But what if the "good" man represents not merely a retrogression, but even a danger, a temptation, a narcotic drug enabling the present to live at the expense of the future? More comfortable, less hazardous, perhaps, but also baser, more petty--so that morality itself would be responsible for man, as a species, failing to reach the peak of magnificence of which he is capable? What if morality should turn out to be the danger of dangers? . . . Whatever else has been done to damage the powerful and great of this earth seems trivial compared with what the Jews have done, that priestly people who succeeded in avenging themselves on their enemies and oppressors by radically inverting all their values, that is, by an act of the most spiritual vengeance . . . dared to invert the aristocratic value equations good/noble/powerful/beautiful/happy/favored-of-the-gods and maintain, with the furious hatred of the underprivileged and impotent, that "only the poor, the powerless, are good."
Clearly here was an eloquent but misguided man who saw the evils of the current "Christian" sects and came to a doctrine of "truth" which is totally inverted. As a result, a terrible chapter of history was affected by his writings. [Richard A. Gudmundsen, Scientific Inquiry Applied to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, p. 54]
