I prefer one of his other quotes:-

"In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point"

Vicarius said

"Hi! The pope says:

Nietzsche sought to be freed from anything that would bind him to his fellow human beings or to God. Such a misguided understanding of freedom—which interprets participation with others as belittlement—is really a form of alienation. Nietzsche found refuge in words, not in acts of love. "There is no one among the living or the dead," Nietzsche wrote, "with whom I feel the slightest affinity." Alexander Nehamas’s Nietzsche: Life is Literature posits that Nietzsche thought of the world as a literary text and of people as literary characters. This represents a true deprivation and impoverishment of the self and can produce only a culture of death. In Evangelium Vitae, John Paul II states:

In seeking the deepest roots of the struggle between the "culture of life" and the "culture of death" . . . [we] have to go to the heart of the tragedy being experienced by modern man: the eclipse of the sense of God and man. (EV 21)
Without God and man, the individual becomes a caricature"and begins to crumble."

This coming from a pope who thinks that all American Indians are Catholic wannabees and that Protestants are all going to Hell.

God is the mistake. Look at how many people have died in his name. The Holocaust, The Crusades from 1096-1272, just to name a couple.

Nietzsche made the enormous error of asking this as if the two were the only options.

It's like asking "Is a dog a cat or is a cat a dog?"

Neither is true.

God was a pretty damn big mistake when you consider how many holy wars there have been.

Neither. Man didn't make up the Gods, and the Gods can't make mistakes.
