Morality as a God-complex:

All the values by means of which we have tried so far to render the world estimable for ourselves and then proved inapplicable and therefore devaluated the world--all these values are, psychologically considered, the results of certain perspectives of utility, designed to maintain and increase human constructs of domination--and they have been falsely projected into the essence of things. What we find here is still the hyperbolic naivete of man: positing himself as the meaning and measure of the value of things.

Indeed, we are all yet too self-interested for Truth. What is Truth these days? What it has always been: the sadist's most potent weapon! And who was the Marquis de Sade? A literal representation of the pious priest. The effects of both were identical, at any rate. Such is Nietzsche's paradox of Truth-seekers! (Moral philosophy is wildly entertaining at 4 a.m.!)
