Two great European narcotics, alcohol and Christianity. - Friedrich Nietzsche Attribution: Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900), German philosopher. Twilight of the Idols, “What the Germans Lack,” aph. 2 (1889). In The Anti-Christ, aph. 62 (1895), Nietzsche wrote: “Wherever there are walls I shall inscribe this eternal accusation against Christianity upon them—I can write in letters which make even the blind see.... I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, the one great instinct for revenge for which no expedient is sufficiently poisonous, secret, subterranean, petty—I call it the one immortal blemish of mankind.”
