29. Religion / B. Monotheistic Religion / 4. Christianity / a. Christianity

4178	Christianity is a pessimistic religion, in which the world is equated with evil [Schopenhauer]
	Full Idea: Let no one think that Christianity is conducive to optimism; on the contrary, in the Gospels 'world' and 'evil' are used almost synonymously.
	From: Arthur Schopenhauer (The World as Will and Idea [1819], IV.59)
	A reaction: The source of Nietzsche's 'Beyond Good and Evil'. Do any religions throw you vigorously back into the middle of life, with its conflict and creativity?
