Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

It is not their love for men but the impotence of their love for men which hinders the Christians of today from burning us

It is not their love for men but the impotence of their love

Summary

This quote suggests that what prevents modern Christians from persecuting others is not their love for humanity, but rather their inability to turn that love into action. The quote implies that if they were capable of deep, passionate love for their fellow human beings, they would be driven to harm or oppress those who do not share their beliefs. In essence, it argues that the restraint Christians exhibit is not out of genuine compassion, but due to a lack of power or influence to act upon their intolerance.
