Proposition for 2+2ers

I just wanted to challenge anyone here to read through the book of Romans(it's in the Bible). It seems the majority of posters here are intellects with an open mind and enjoy reading, so it should give you something to chew on for awhile. Even if you don't agree with what it says, may be it will open your mind to a better understanding of Christian theology.

We'll make deal: I'll read the book of Romans if you read a selection of my choice by Nietzsche.

Wha'd'ya say?

Sounds good, I've never read any of his stuff. What do you prefer?

I'd be down with that. I've only read an excerpt of Nietzsche in a Government Philosophy Class in college.

What's a good work with which to start?

Isn't Nietzsche that guy who never got laid? Oh except once in a whorehouse and then got syphillis and went crazy.

Ok, let me find the book of Romans, look it over, and I'll try to find something comparable in length (and challenge).

I'll give you one of my Ayn Rand door-stops...

LOL! Rand was just a second hand Nietzsche, anyway.

How about something from "The Geneology of Morals" or "The Antichrist."

I would love to take this up too. Have you guys come up with a book to complement Romans yet?
