But no, I"ve learned, like I said, almost nothing about what Neitzche actually said. So, I guess it was just logic that brought me to those conclusions.

That's great, I'm glad some of Nietzsche's ideas have kind of become ingrained in our culture like that. I think I came to some of those conclusions before reading any Nietzsche as well, but I think it might have been after I'd read a lot of Rand, who has a lot of Nietzschean influences in her work.

So, do you think that science is a more logical web of knowlege than religion?

Oh absolutely. As much as I respect some of the great Western religious philosophers, and as much as some of them were very logical in their writings, at its core there's simply very little logic to be found in theology. But I think most theologians might tell you that that's partly the point: Logic can only take you so far, and that's where faith comes in. I don't buy that, but I think that's usually the thinking.
