The Antichrist by Friedrich Nietzsche

I respect all the religion, and I read this book only out of curiosity. I just wanted to see how Nietzsche has put his views against Christianity.

The book is not a regular narrative, and it looks more like random writings rather then a well thought book. The author has registered his dissent in a very reasonable arguments, and there are a lot of points which people will like to agree irrespective of their religion.

This is the first book by Nietzsche which I've read, and it is more like calling the sham in the name of religion. After reading the book I actually felt that he is not against a religion but the bitterness has been caused by the outlook of the religion. He wants to drive the message that we can be a good/moral human being even without a religion. And most of the things done in the name of the religion actually drive it away from the truth. In fact most of the points raised against Christianity will be valid against any other religion with a different set of words.

I'm not really for this book but if you have an open mind to listen to some reasonable arguments then this book is worth reading.
