Have you ever challenged you faith, the things that you believed for year / decades? Have you ever put your faith and belief on test of arguments? The AntiChrist - which is a small book by Nietzsche - A German Philosopher challenges the very institution of Christianity. It is said that Hitler kept under his pillow the Book of Nietzsche and got inspired by it for what ever he did. Nietzsche never proposed it... it was Hitlers interpretation.
The Antichrist is a book in which Nietzsche in around 64 paragraphs try to say why he does not like Christianity - he compares it with Buddhisum and brings out their commanilities as well as differences. If you thought that Nietzsche in this book seems to be against Christ - Then you may be mistaken - as, as I understood - he is against the institution called Christianity - not Christ. Somewhere he has said - that "I know only one Christian and he died on the cross" - or something similar to that.. He also said somewhere that - "I cannot believe in god who cannot dance".
Nietzsche is difficult to read and understand, but if you like such books he is the Author for you.. at least you should try some of his works.....
