>Rudolf Steiner met Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche when he was working on the famous Weimar Edition of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's works then in preparation under commission from the Archduchess Sophie of Saxony. She subsequently asked him to arrange the Nietzsche library and even admitted him to her ailing brother's presence. He spent several weeks in the Nietzsche Archives in Naumberg fulfilling Förster-Nietzsche's request. He also edited and wrote introductions to the works of Jean Paul Richter and Arthur Schopenhauer. Further, he was acquainted with Eduard von Hartmann and dedicated a book to him.

He overcame Nietzsche like Nietzsche did Schopenhauer and Wagner
>It must not be the case in the future, that men are thus economically differentiated, as it were, to such an extreme degree that they will not learn from each other. Because that would mean that there would gradually spread over Asia a certain Ethos, such as one finds advocated in the fire-sounding words of Rabindranath Tagore. In Central Europe there would sp read in another form — that which certain Nietzsche-fops have already advocated — a certain “Beyond-ness” of good and evil, a certain Aestheticism, even in moral ideas. We see here the triumphant march of this Aestheticising making itself felt, especially towards the end of the 19th century. And then the merely utilitarian standpoint would pour out over the West, cleverness in the utilitarian standpoint, a caricature of the Spiritual element from the utilitarian standpoint, etc., etc.
>Michael teaches how recognition can be made to-day if men are willing to listen to him. For the Michael schooling has worked on and still to-day it is possible for men to draw near it. Then it teaches how Ahriman himself as an author has made attempts — first attempts of a deeply shattering, deeply tragic character — working, of course, through a human being. Nietzsche's Anti-Christ, his Ecce Homo, his autobiography, and the annotations in The Will to Power — those most brilliant chapters of modern authorship with their often devilish content — Ahriman was their writer, exercising his sovereignty over that which in letters on the Earth can be made subject to his dominion through the art of printing! Ahriman has already begun to appear as an author and his work will continue. On Earth in the future alertness will be necessary in order that not all the productions of authorship shall be deemed of the same calibre. Works written by men will appear, but some individuals at least must be aware that a Being is training himself to become one of the most brilliant authors in the immediate future: that Being is Ahriman! Human hands will write the works, but Ahriman will be the author. As once the Evangelists of old were inspired by super-sensible Beings and wrote down their works through this inspiration, so will the works of Ahriman be penned by men.

Fair enought.
God doesn't 1) allow evil for those that deserve it 2) allow evil to test people 3) allow evil to those that sin as punishment. 4) God doesn't simply allow the "appearence" of evil while everything that happens is actually Good.
Rather God operates saying:

“Who has a claim against me that I must pay?
Everything under heaven belongs to me.” Job 41:11

The point is pretty clear, and there's no such thing as a problem of Evil in Christianity.

imagine being that woman who got abducted and trapped in a wooden coffin for seven years in America, only being let out one hour a day to be force fed and tortured. Imagine being under any circumstance of torture that are deliberately drawn out, slowly inserting needles into someone's pupils after removing their eyelids so they can't even stop looking. People forcibly restrained and denied all sensory input or bodily autonomy until they eventuallg break to the point of insanity, but still aren't given the mercy of death. People who contract parasites that slowly hatch and begin to eat the body from within, often in the head or brain keeping the victim awake at night frol the sound of their flesh being eaten. Men evil enough to rape a newborn, killing it in the process. All of this occurs in a world under god's dominion, and the roof of human pain seems to have no upper limit. I dread to think what sadists will do if longevity research is successful. All of this can occur as long as someone can physically overpower someone else and stop them from escaping.
