Somebody out there would probably say it's you. Or me. Or the next person, it's all perspective. people who are well known as being great examples of human potential are just that, examples.

Nietzsche. For stating that christianity (or any religion or moral for that matter) is unhealthy because you are hostile towards the world. You don't live for the real world but rather for a metaphysic world. Christianity is the worst since the idea is that the real world is not the good world, but the good world would be rewarded after death. You there by celebrates dying and there by is hostile towards the life you live. The right and wrongs has nothing to do with this world and thereby you become nihilistic by using them. And no Nietzsche is not a nihilist "It is better to will nothing than not to will at all".
I didn't I gave some of the ideas of Nietzche and he gave a metaphysich analyse of christianity and morals. He didn't say how you should live your life. His thoughts about morals and metaphysics (for Nietzsche they were the same thing) was groundbreaking when it was done and apparently still provocative.
