&quot;Whatever happened to the intellectual depth of the serious atheists, the forcefulness of Hobbes, the passion of Spinoza, the wit of Voltaire, the world-shattering profundity of Nietzsche?&quot;

... then he goes on to complain that Nietzche was single-handedly responsible for the Holocaust. (Come on, if he&#039;s allowed to embroider and exaggerate then so am I.) Come on man, you can&#039;t have it both ways - either a man is worthy of admiration or he&#039;s not.

The reason we don&#039;t all have the &quot;intellectual depth&quot; of Spinoza, Hobbes etc ad nauseam is for the same reason that the Lord Chief Rabbi is relegated to wittering bitterly and ineffectually in right-wing rant mats.|EMAIL|prime.mover@proofwiki.org|IP-ADDRESS|81.142.211.61|MODERATIONFLAG|
