People worship Jesus because they believe he is the son of god which indeed would make him a supreme being. Whether or not you think there is enough proof to say jesus is the son of god does not matter, however no one believes slayer is more than a heavy metal band.

As Frunk said, he was the son of god. He was a deity. He came back to life after being killed.
Pretty damn certain that connotes supremity. Whether or not he became superior via doxa or not, he's still worshipped as a supreme being.

What? Go away.

Hurhur. When I said 'think Nietzsche' I was mentioning him so you would know what I meant when I said 'overman'. Obviously, that went over your head. I'm sorry for that.

You are actually not going to take a concept like this and think about it for a few seconds.Because i would think you are very closeminded if you wouldnt.
Blunt ridicule is often a way of trying to discredit another person his/her views with lack of actual meaningfull constructive points. Or it would mean your brain can actually only accept/handle the reality that is right now and would never accept/handle a drastic new reality when presented.

Another attempt to make a fool out of me, instead of actually reacting to the points i was making, i knew what you meant my point was i rather speak with someone who uses his own words intead of copying lines/concepts of great men troughout history.
It is just easy to copy what is widely accepted as truths just because the general population accepts it. It is hard to come up with your own truths and concepts, because you risk being ridiculed for it by those who hold on to what is already generally accepted.
Nietzsche took these chances to, in another reality/dimension he could have just as well been ridiculed. I bet you wouldnt have referred to him then?
Just bathing in another man's sunshine, it is very safe indeed. And i think only true free thinking individuals will realise that it is. Sounding smart/wise is easy, but if you think "that" is important you have no clue about true intelligence or wisdom. ( that is how i see it ) Because the simplest peasant can say something that will puzzle an emperor.
Dont look down on people and dont ridicule them. Not even when it is online you are still talking to "real people".

Bahaha. I laugh at your arbitrary 'concept'.

The arbitrary is to be dismissed. It is always to be dismissed.
That is why I dismissed your fucktarded concept.

You must mean a different thing to what everybody else means when you say 'reacting'. My post was a direct reaction to your stupidity. Derp.
As I said before, brevity is the soul of wit. Why should I attempt to word it my way when others before me have done so better? It's simply silly to disregard prior great people.

Once again, you mean a different thing (a wrong thing) to what everyone else means when they say 'truth'. A truth is a statement about a fact. A fact is that which is true in objective reality. All truths are tautological. Get it?

Remember how before I said to disregard the arbitrary? Yeah. Same thing applies here.

Okay, go ahead then. Re-invent the wheel. I'll stay here in today's 'dimension' with our aeroplanes and rockets.
Hurp Derp.
