Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

What good is all this free-thinking, modernity, and turncoat

Summary

This quote questions the authenticity of someone who claims to embrace free-thinking, modernity, and adaptability, but clings to their religious identity and role as a Christian, Catholic, or priest. It suggests that holding on to such traditional beliefs may undermine the very essence of open-mindedness and flexibility they claim to possess. The quote provokes reflection on the tension between modernity and religious affiliations, questioning the extent to which personal beliefs can truly align with progressive ideals.
