RE: Philosophy 101, #8: Why did Nietzsche proclaim that “God is Dead”?
Many people now don't want truth, they want to hear what they want to hear. People are their own gods now. The state of the world we live in is due to exactly that; people want to be their own gods. When you first mentioned that quote from Nietzsche I took it literal but it's cool that you broke down what he was trying to say. Christianity for the most part has been hijacked by falsehoods. THere are many people who mean well but are teaching in error. Christianity is not about a religion it is a way of living life that leads to ultimate fulfillment only through the Messiah. Lastly, the eternal cannot die.
Nietzsche would definitely agree with this statement. Although he is an atheist, he is remarkably mild about Jesus Christ in The Antichrist (1895). He thought that this new way of life that Christ had imagined became hijacked by the Christian priests and his apostles.
I may write about this in a future post.
