I disagree, he definitely condamned metaphysics as the fantasy of suffering people trying to escape this world. He calls it afterworlds, or backworlds, and there's a chapter about it in Zarathustra. ...

I felt he just didn’t care for a metaphysics and that the search for one was a futile effort… maybe a worthwhile endeavor for the suffering :) I’m going to stick to my guns about my claim that he was not an atheist on those grounds.

Thanks for sharing. I’ll put Zarathustra back into my bedside bookshelf so it gets a revisit.

I am totally with y’all on the radical self-sovereignty. I truly believe that no matter what we learn growing up we must emerge from our child selves into adults by catalyzing our own morality. Even if some of the behaviours we learn from society and parents growing up, we must escape performativity to be complete humans.

Gotta help the kids brush their teeth so I’ll catch yas latez!!

I think you worded it very well! I'm also not trying to assert Nietzsche was an atheist, in fact probably he was not, but he might have had a spiritual life that stayed outside of any religion too.
