Cruelty In Nietzsche's Beyond Good And Evil

Religious cruelty is the harassment of one religion to another. It involves the different views of all kind of beliefs as how they are beaten down by each other. In Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche the discussion God being seen as a different figure to all religions is brought up. In my response, I will analysis the passages 55, 66, 67, 129, and 183. Passage 55 states, “There is a great ladder of religious cruelty with many rungs; but three of them are the most important.
