The naturally good world has been corrupted by evil, and a God is going to restore it to its nature. Apparently, the restoration is indeed obvious. It is shown through the everlasting teachings of kindness, harmony, and peace. Men are smart, but they are selfish and ignorant, making them unable to invent such moral teachings.

Good Will as described by Kant Good will is the ability to act in accordance to a given conception of law regardless of the possibility of achieving the intended results of our action which is beyond human control.

Even Nietzsche's own craft, philosophy, is not exempt from the powers of kitsch.                         "Philosophy itself is this tyrannical drive itself,                         the most spiritual will to power ...it always                         creates the world in its own image" (Beyond 16).
