Nietzsche is commenting on the honesty at the heart of the chandalic code. Ultimately, they are the same. The most disgusting aspect of Christianity is its dishonesty. It speaks of Love, it is the religion of love, but its love is a weapon. It is sneaky in its use of destruction, since it never admits that the Christian love is a destructive force. The Christian loves the 'savage' but only in so far as the 'savage' can be tamed, i.e. Christianized. The history of the church is its history as a destructive force, although they call it preaching. If anything, this proves that Mormonism is Christian, it never stops sending out its soldiers, attempting to tame the savage beasts throughout the world. Followers of Manu are more honest, but no less despicable. Breeding is taming, avant la lettre. "The morality of breeding, and the morality of taming, are, in the means they use, entirely worthy of each other: we may proclaim it as a supreme principle that to make men moral one must have the unconditional resolve to act immorally."
