Slavish morality
One sometimes sees interesting things juxtapossed on Twitter, which also illustrates the limits of Twitter as a medium (or must we call it a media nowadays)?
On my Twitter stream this morning were the following:
“Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy.” (Bible)
followed shortly afterwards by:
The church uses sophisticated propaganda techniques in order to implant a slavish morality in the hearts of the populace.
Reggie’s tweet is presumably an example of the church using sophisticated propaganda techniques (ie Twitter) to implant a slavish morality in the hearts of the populace.
I presume that an unslavish morality would take a more proper Übermensch tone, since I believe it was Nietzsche who came up with the term and described Christianity as a religion suitable only for slaves.
