Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche

Long-time reader, first-time poster.

I'm curious: are there any Schopenhauerians or Nietzscheans here? I hold affinities with both, particularly the latter, but they rarely ever seem to come up in discussion. I'm also quite interested in the Christian view of these two geniuses of the Nineteenth Century.

No problem. And I choose to redefine the term ethics, for my future arguments, as "morals for people who love the smell of their own farts."

Certainly, though if your definitions are going to be that far of a stretch, do tell us what they mean before you use them.

Sorry for the crudeness, I've been dying to sneak in a South Park reference for some time now.
