Easier said than done, yes

However once realising that you're doing just as bad as the gay then it probably adds weight to it

Just dont be gay

Yeah I already knew all that, I just failed at it once.

We men have the struggle with lust, yes

Pray for the gift of Purity

Daily morning thanking prayers, daily nightly prayers

Saints have gone to extremes to keep their purity, but that's another story

i.e jumping into freezing water, running out of a room where there was a prostitute, etc

Yeah

don't break your stride

or you go to hell

*and keep living in sin

Now on another note:

Nietzsche had some good points with his tracts about post-modernity and "hyper-reality"

Read Kierkegaard

Nietzsche centers around the Knight of Eternal Resignation

Kierkegaard proposes the Knight of Faith to counter that

No. Nietzsche was against nihilism. Modern edgelords say he was for it.

I am aware, but that's not at all what the Knight of Eternal Resignation is

The KoER is literally the übermensch in Nietzsche's eyes

Because despite what the name suggests, the KoER is able to raise above most men

However he's one step below the Knight of Faith

Who has resigned himself entirely to the will of God

and therefore is able to achieve whatever he desires, for he believes God can grant him anything, as God is able to do anything

I thought the ubermensch was supposed to be the one that could recognize the true underlying spiritual values of the world that everyone else lost sight of.

On the contrary, the übermensch has, according to Nietzsche, crossed through the stage of rising above religion. but recognizes it keeps other men tied to rules, and strives to further improve his fellow men

I never heard that. I thought the common man was worthless to him.

It is to an extent, for not every man can become an übermensch

Alright, even if that's the case, I was talking about his points on post-modernity and hyper-realism

Basically because he was right

Hyper-reality is where a simulated reality, a "simulacrum" becomes more 'real' than reality because reality has become so devoid of anything meaningful.

The misconceptions around Nietzsche arise from the popular paraphrase "God is dead". The next line, often left out, is "and we have killed him". I haven't read much Nietzsche, but I get the impression that the die-hard atheist ubermensch portrait of him arises from this and similar paraphrases.

I see it all the damn time now.

@Jimbo2025 Yeah, basically

Hyper-reality is pretty much exemplified in Donald Trump.

Remove God from the equation and it all becomes meaningless

He got elected because he's a good showman who gives good entertainment. Nobody gives two shits about his policies or his character.
