A god who came to earth....

It was Nietzsche's insight, "A god who came to earth would do nothing but wrong." In other words, humanity requires someone to be capable of being on the wrong side of the boundaries of good and evil. It makes people feel better about themselves. Bataille took this up, too, with his idea that one should train oneself to experience and tolerate guilt to greater and greater degrees. Of course he was mocked by academic writers who did not understand the deeper psychological meaning of this. It's not that one desires to experience guilt for its own sake, but that if one doesn't throw it off onto others at the first opportunity, one has a good chance of widening one's perspectives and understanding life more deeply.
