Two sides of the reality fence: innocence and experience

Which one forms your lens? Nietzsche was on the side of tradition, pessimism and tragedy, whereas Christianity is on the side of modernity, optimism and crassness.

I make no apologies for being against Americanization here, since the pervasiveness of Christianity puts most on the side of barbarism.  I say "most" of Americans come across to me in this way, but this does not mean all do.  My husband is ne American who sings the song of experience, not innocence.
