Yeah, because it places man above the divine
>>25202009No. It's not pro-Christian, so devout Christians will interpret it as blasphemy as they'd interpret everything else not praising Jesus, Popes and saints as anti-Christian.

>>25202009" “Here are priests: but although they are mine enemies, pass them quietly and with sleeping swords!Even among them there are heroes; many of them have suffered too much—: so they want to make others suffer.Bad enemies are they: nothing is more revengeful than their meekness. And readily doth he soil himself who toucheth them.But my blood is related to theirs; and I want withal to see my blood honoured in theirs.”— ""Who created for themselves such caves and penitence-stairs? Was it not those who sought to conceal themselves, and were ashamed under the clear sky?And only when the clear sky looketh again through ruined roofs, and down upon grass and red poppies on ruined walls—will I again turn my heart to the seats of this God.They called God that which opposed and afflicted them: and verily, there was much hero-spirit in their worship!And they knew not how to love their God otherwise than by nailing men to the cross!""Better songs would they have to sing, for me to believe in their Saviour: more like saved ones would his disciples have to appear unto me!Naked, would I like to see them: for beauty alone should preach penitence. But whom would that disguised affliction convince!""Verily, too early died that Hebrew whom the preachers of slow death honour: and to many hath it proved a calamity that he died too early.As yet had he known only tears, and the melancholy of the Hebrews, together with the hatred of the good and just—the Hebrew Jesus: then was he seized with the longing for death.Had he but remained in the wilderness, and far from the good and just! Then, perhaps, would he have learned to live, and love the earth—and laughter also!Believe it, my brethren! He died too early; he himself would have disavowed his doctrine had he attained to my age! Noble enough was he to disavow!But he was still immature. Immaturely loveth the youth, and immaturely also hateth he man and earth. Confined and awkward are still his soul and the wings of his spirit."" This counsel, however, do I counsel to kings and churches, and to all that is weak with age or virtue—let yourselves be o’erthrown! That ye may again come to life, and that virtue—may come to you!—”Thus spake I before the fire-dog: then did he interrupt me sullenly, and asked: “Church? What is that?”“Church?” answered I, “that is a kind of state, and indeed the most mendacious. But remain quiet, thou dissembling dog! Thou surely knowest thine own species best!Like thyself the state is a dissembling dog; like thee doth it like to speak with smoke and roaring—to make believe, like thee, that it speaketh out of the heart of things.For it seeketh by all means to be the most important creature on earth, the state; and people think it so.” "
