Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains

Saturday Night at the Oldies: Johnny Cash

Personal Jesus.  Hurt.  The Mercy Seat.  I See a Darkness.  If you can relate to these powerful songs, then you can appreciate the superficiality and ignorance of the human heart of the New Atheism.  Only the spiritually moribund could put up a poster like this:

Busatheist

Ed Feser, yesterday, hit upon a brilliant and true insight: "The New Atheist is none other than Nietzsche’s Last Man in rationalist drag."

There may or may not be a God.  But "Stop worrying and enjoy life"  is exactly the sort of thing  Nietzsche's  Last Man would say.  I think Feser would agree that the poster to the left supports his insight.
