“If there is no God, then I myself am God. The “strong individual” sought to free himself from God—and he has succeeded. His freedom proved to be infinite. But in this infinity ruin awaited him. Freedom from God shows itself as sheer demonism; renunciation of Christ as slavery to Fate. After having traced the course of atheistic freedom, the author leads us to the religious basis of his world-outlook: there is no freedom other than freedom in Christ; he who does not believe in Christ stands subject to the power of Destiny.”
