Morality after Nietzsche.

The German philosopher wanted to re-evaluate all values and replace the duds with things higher and better. But in his godless universe he could not really justify his superman, his amor fati.

In fact, God or no-God, the values must be the same: those that achieve these goals: that everyone on earth be granted a good life. That everyone get to live in health, and that everyone be free from violence and the threat of violence.

Peace and security for everyone and sufficient wealth for every single person on earth without exception. We treat everyone on earth the way a good family treats all its members.  

That’s as simple as we can get it.

But it’s got to be fleshed out.

First, without a God to direct us in this way, why?

Because anything else makes everyone a Machiavellian prince. This is what Nietzsche’s superman leads to. This could be explored and discussed but this is where it will take us. And if everyone is a Machiavellian prince, no one is secure, and without security, which is to say with constant anxiety, we enter the zone of incessant war punctuated by brief tense moments of insecure peace. We end up with the shit we have now, in other words. And no one wants that.

The nominal religion of today is a mask for violence, for power, for the manipulative Machiavellian powers. The real religion is overwhelmed and need not be much or often accounted for.
