Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

Christianity gave Eros poison to drink; he did not die of it, certainly, but degenerated to Vice.


Christianity gave Eros poison to drink; he did not die of it

Summary

This quote suggests that Christianity, instead of embracing and nurturing the concept of Eros (meaning passionate love or desire), tainted it with negative connotations. Eros, which was once seen as a natural and beautiful aspect of human love, became corrupted and degraded into vice under the influence of Christianity. It implies that Christianity's teachings and beliefs distorted the true essence of Eros, resulting in its negative portrayal and misconceptions.
