Professa Kirk,

It is both a blessing and an honor to hear you spit the truth one more time. A learned man such as yourself always knows the wise words of the professa's that came before him.

I thought it prudent to inform our students of yet another wise lesson of our deceased Ivory Tower professa (and friend) Friedrich Nietzsche. As with all good professa's he could see both sides of every issue and in this quote he describes perfectly the attitude of the moderators.

For our edification:

"There cannot be a God because, if there were one, I would not believe that I was not he." - Nietzsche

Praise tha Lord!

Thanks guys but you haven't addressed my question!!! Maybe you misinterpreted the facts, which reminds me of another Nietzsche quote...


"There are no facts, only interpretations" (1886)

If you are only looking at more modern times, Kant seems to have been pretty influential, too.

Nietzsche had a golden sense of humour, I like the way he classified philosophers. Out of all the reading I.ve done only Nietzsche and Thoreau possessed this "golden sense" of humour that could make me burst out laughing while reading their writings. Their cleverness was astounding.

Kant was/is hugely influential, especially his then original formulation of 'critique', but Nietzsche amongst many others have put Kants philosophy to rest.....

Well, I suppose we ought to blame somebody.
Ironic how the man died, though, don't you think?
