Episode description

In 1888, Friedrich Nietzche finished "The Antichrist" and as you;d imagine, it wasn't released until years later due to its title. While known for being the "God is dead" guy that inspired every angry teen's atheist phase, he's probably also the most misunderstood due to his aphoristic and polemic style. The book is surprisingly kind about Christ and instead focuses on Christianity as an institution, as a belief rather than practice had betrayed the very essence of Christi, turning him into a dominating symbol and king, or an ineffectual belief system. Essentially , Christianity had become antichrist We highlight how he fleshes out this argument in today's Palm Sunday episode.
