atheist joke

'God's only excuse is that he does not exist.'
(P.34, Why I Am So Wise, Friedrich Nietzsche, Penguin Books)
Actually I think this joke is quite funny, and one of just a few scattered redeeming features of this very interesting diatrade.
Another good quote is. 'One repays a teacher badly if one remains only a pupil.' (P.7)
But the book despite its self proclaimed brilliance really is a tough and predominantly pointless read. But perhaps when I read what others say it means I might uncover its supposed brilliance.
