And moreso:

"All great things bring about their own distruction through an act of self overcoming: thus the law of life will have it, the law of the necessity of "self-overcoming" in the nature of life - the law-giver himself eventually receives the call: "patere legem, quam ipse tulisti." In this way Christianity as a dogma was destroyed by its own morality; in the same way Christianity as morality must now perish, too: we stand on the threshold of this event. After Christian truthfullness has drawn one inference after another, it must end by drawing its most striking inference, its inference against itself; this will happen, however, when it poses the question "what is the meaning of all will to truth?"

On the Genealogy of Morals, F. Nietzsche
