Zarathustra wasn't all wrong. . .

"One repays a teacher badly if one remains nothing but a pupil." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche

Nietzsche was a german philosopher who employed his gifts of writing and rhetoric to expose the weaknesses of Christianity. His success in this was limited to his treatment of the Christians who served as living evidence and testimony to the faith. These "little Christs" were way too little for Nietzsche - lazy, sloppy, emasculated, saccharine, and apathetic. Given the gravity of scriptural claims, how could these people who confessed that the Bible was true live such dispassionate lives? Christians must stop being content to be career internists - always studying, growing, and workshopping but never venturing. As disciples of Christ - we are certainly repaying our teacher badly. As George Bernard Shaw has said ~ "Christianity would be a great thing if anybody ever tried it."
