Is Nietzsches critique of Christianity outdated since 20th-century Christianity moved away from a life-denying other-wordly emphasis towards a more decadent wordly ethic?

Not true. Yes, there has been a rise in what's called Prosperity Theology (aka Name It & Claim It, or Blab It & Grab It), Christianity hasn't made this move. Christianity in fact cannot make this move:
Then Jesus said His to disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me."
--Matthew 16:24

Yes. Modern day ethics preach the lie of hedonism in which numerous pleasures end up making life poor as a result since there's not "one" strong pleasurable experience. I think Nietzsche critized hedonists though as being decadent animals living meaningless lifes though. I think he would've denied it as leading to a society of weaklings and herd-walkers instead of strong individualists, However the criticism of christianity is still valid inasmuch as there are still fucktards practicing the religion, and inasmuch as the fact that Nietzsche criticized religion more from an ethical standpoint, and this ethos is manifested specially in the modern taste for democratic governments, equality, and SJW.

if anyone desires to come after me AS A PROPHET obviously. not as a christian u god damn idiot, and it always shows why Mohammed ain't shit, since he was a rich son of a bitch who liked to fuck young sluts and chop up his enemies
as usual some degenerate catholic pagans want to tell christians how to be christian...making money is not "hedonism". Rich protestants are a hell of a lot less hedonistic than all the Catholic criminals and addicts i see hanging around looking for a handout after they blew their welfare check on booze

"[Jesus said, ] 'And anyone who does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.'"
--Mt 10:38

so what does this have to do with lazy catholics and prosperous protestants? sounds to me like the lazy catholics sitting around waiting for a handout (and an islamic take over of europe) aren't taking up any crosses
>>7848055
That's some of the worst cherrypicking I've seen.
>>7848067
why don't you just convert to christianity instead of pretending to be christian in that old roman pedo outfit
