> I was assaulted by the words about christians being horrible, the worst form of being possible.
lol. I think he rants at the level of the 'system' rather than the particular individuals. He rants at the level of church teachings rather than at the level of what particuar people believe.
Yup. He's controversial...
Well... You don't have to be afraid because he is long dead.
He was writing at a time when the church had immense power and abused that power immensely. If you see it that way... That the church (as a system of indoctrination) are dominant and he is in the minority for speaking out then I think that makes a little more sense of his 'hostile' approach.
That was long before the current days of political correctness...
But what he had to say about how life seems sometimes...
I think angst is relevant to today
Even when our current political and social climate is a bit different...
