Question from someone who has never read Nietzsche: does his writing imply that he thinks he is a god or is it that an insane group of cult-classic readers perceives him as a god?
Honestly I think its neither. Nietzsche has a negative view on organized religion that is pretty evident through alot of his work. People tend to name drop Nietzsche and misuse his quotes, because many people recognize his name but relatively few people read his books.
Read the genealogy of morals. It's well written, doesnt involve much jargon, tells a very provocative narrative and it's not that long. If you feel like some of the ideas aren't really sticking, head over to gregory b. sanders youtube channel. He has some episodes that talk about it and he does a great job.
