He did, in 'Revolt' (p. 284-85), without however linking it up to a so-called
"decline of Christianity", far from it : it represented "the secret sign of a
force that was associated with primitive Christianity and to which it partially
owed its success."
Your first statement was that he saw "Christianity as purely a destructive force
and connected to the demon Set..." We put it right by pointing out that it was
Judaism he viewed, after Diodorus Siculus, as being possibly connected to Set.

what was regarded by him "as purely a destructive force and connected to the

Problem'.

â€Å"church� was the creation of the Nordic-Roman
interaction, as Evola has pointed out. If it fell short of Tradition, then it is
because the Germans did not understand Tradition and the Romans had forgotten
it.

Visigoths could have chosen Islam in Spain … they did not. The
Normans could have chosen Islam in Sicily … they did not. They
took over the Arab castles in Salemi and Palermo and transformed them into
something else; visit the chapel in Palermo, for example. Are we to take you
seriously that the Normans, who recreated the Holy Roman Empire from that base,
lacked manly instincts? It is more likely that Nietzsche had no idea what they
are. He was a scribbler, a beta male, a â€Å"flop with
chicks�; apparently he indulged in a vivid fantasy life. What he
imagines hardly resembles Londonistan or the banlieues of Paris.

and Rome, you will be resisted vigorously.
