Is religion a major cause of war and/or a major cause of conflict between people? A holy war is justified in the name of “God”. In Europe, during the 16th and 17th centuries, numerous wars occurred caused by religious beliefs. For example, the Spanish Reconquista or the Christian Crusades are examples of religious warfare. The Crusades were wars initiated by Christianity against the conquest pushed by the Muslims and their religious expansion. Religion has caused suffering and immense pain. Friedrich Nietzsche believed that Christianity was bad for the world. Bitterness, or resentment, is when you have repressed feelings and emotions. Our values play an important role. It reflects the way of life of each individual. Nietzsche, in reference to slave morality, developed the concept of ressentiment. In the past, “nobles” determined “morality.” Then there was a revolt against this "morality", where now it is the "common" that determines morality. Nietzsche states that each of us lives according to our own perspective and that the purpose of life is to overcome the self. There are individuals who believe in the existence of “God”. They argue that believing in its existence is in our self-interest. By believing in its existence, there will be enormous compensations and rewards in the heavens. Many of these individuals have had out-of-the-ordinary religious experiences that prove to them that “God” exists. There are those who even claim that “God” has had some sort of manifestation in their personal life. They impose “values” as those that follow the guidelines of that higher being. Contrary to Nietzsche, these individuals believe that good conquers power. Moreover, these two words are two completely different concepts. We......middle sheet......Nietzsche expresses. Sin causes some individuals to feel ashamed of their sexuality and discourage curiosity. In Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Nietzsche talks about 3 transformations of the soul that are crucial for the self-overcoming of life: the camel, which is the beast of burden, the lion, and the child. After analysis, I have to say that I agree with Nietzsche's ideology. In life there is a constant struggle that we must overcome. It is critical to embrace this struggle in order to achieve a more powerful state of being. We must learn that in the stage of being a camel we must accept this burden and seek discipline. So, just as a lion asserts its dominance and freedom, we too must do the same and break all ties. We must seek the truth and become sceptical. With the innocence of a child we must become forgetful and seek a “new beginning” to become joyful in life.
