Instead I'm now arguing with Christians about their own doctrines.

The only fault in the highest Scholarchs in the Academies. Is that the opted out to of having children. It was short-sightedness, they lacked wisdom in the great intellects. They should have become an ethnoreligion. Basically were that last two centuries. Just not enough kids.

REPUBLIC SHOULD BE LIKE THE FOURTH LAST DUALOGUE YOU READ

ESPECIALLY LAWS.

Only great pain, that long, slow pain that takes its time and in which we are burned, as it were, over green wood, forces us philosophers to descend into our ultimate depths and put aside all trust, everything good-natured, veiling, mild, average - things in which formerly we may have found our humanity. I doubt that such pain makes us 'better' - but I know that it makes us deeper. Whether we learn to pit our pride, our scorn, our willpower against it, like the savage who, however badly tormented, repays his tormentor with the malice of his tongue; or whether we withdraw before pain into the Oriental Nothingness - called Nirvana - into mute, rigid, deaf self-surrender, self-forgetting, self-extinction: one emerges from such dangerous exercises in self-mastery as a different person, with a few more question marks, above all with the will henceforth to question further, more deeply, severely, harshly, evilly, and quietly than one had previously questioned. The trust in life is gone: life itself has become a problem. Yet one should not jump to the conclusion that this necessarily makes one sullen. Even love of life is still possible - only one loves differently. It is like the love for a woman who gives us doubts ... But the attraction of everything problematic, the delight in an X, is so great in highly spiritual, spiritualized people such as these that this delight flares up like bright embers again and again over all the distress of what is problematic, over all the danger of uncertainty, and even over the jealousy of the lover. We know a new happiness. . .
