PART B Please response to these two original posts below. When responding to these posts, please either expand the thought, add additional insights, or respectfully disagree and explain why. Remember that we are after reasons and arguments, and not simply the statement of opinions.

Original Post 1 What does Nietzsche mean when he argues that morality arises out of ressentiment? Does it?

Ressentiment is the idea that hatred arises toward those who take advantage of you and also a self-hatred because of your own weakness. This own weakness is then taken out on the strong who would have taken advantage of that weakness. Nietzsche says that in reference to the weak, this allows the development of an ideology that ensures the strong are kept in their place, who are below the weak. This ideology takes the traits of the weak and turns them into virtues, which in turn, does contribute to morality arising out of ressentiment. Not only do the traits of the weak become virtues, but the traits of the strong are turned into vices and ultimately turned against themselves. Following this up, the people are considered free and therefore make the strong accountable for their actions if they don't show the virtues of the weak. 

Original Post 2 Why does Nietzsche argue that the ‘death of God’ leads to both a crisis and an opportunity?

Nietzsche argues that the "death of God" leads to a crisis because if there is no God, all of morality crumbles which leads to a drift toward nihilism. As we have learned previously in the ethics and religion section, the belief of nihilism is where without God and religion, there can be no such thing as objective morality.  Nietzsche stated in his book "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", that “if God is dead, everything is permitted" which embodies the idea of Nihilism. Furthermore, without God, there is nothing valuable or worth doing so there is also nothing morally worth doing. However, Nietzsche also argued that the "death of God" also leads to an opportunity because it allows us to learn to live without the illusion of morality. Nietzsche defines a person's strength and weaknesses and links them to justification, he further argues that the death of God enables the strong ones to act again without the need to justify their actions.  Therefore, according to Nietzsche, the death of God can be both a crisis and an opportunity.
