Question

The claim that this system is a “complete outlook on the world” is made in a paragraph on George Eliot from a series of “skirmishes in a war with the age.” This system and alcohol are called “the two great means (10[1])of corruption” in a passage that says that “nobody remains at liberty to choose” because “either a man is a Chandala (“chun-DAH-lah”) or he is not.” This system is called “the metaphysics of the hangman” in a passage that calls the idea of free will one of the “four great errors.” A book ends by calling this system “the one (10[1])immortal blemish upon the human race” (-5[1])and then calling for “the transvaluation (10[1]-5[1])of (10[1])all values.” (10[2])According to an 1895 (-5[1])book, the very word for this system (10[1]-5[1])is a misunderstanding (10[1])because at bottom the only true follower of this religion was the man (10[1])who founded it. (10[2])For (10[1])10 points, (10[1])Friedrich Nietzsche often criticized (10[2])what (10[1])religion’s (10[1])“slave (10[1])morality”? (10[3])■END■ (10[3])

ANSWER: Christianity [or the Christian religion; accept Christian morality; reject “religion” or “monotheism”; reject “slave morality”]
