is God Still Dead?

I ate god and then shat him out into a hole I dug in a field where I was camped. I smoked god and blew him out. I stamped on god and killed him

 

Hmmmmmm.......that's strange. I wonder what compels people to say such things?

 

Hi, everyone I'm new here...hope you people can help me answer a few questions.

Can anyone tell me what effect Nietzsche's claim that "God is dead" had on other philosophers work like Sartre or Dostoevksy.

Thanks!

 

If you interpret Nietzsche's "God is dead" to mean "God does not exist," then you are logically saying that the dead do not exist. If Niezsche is dead, then who are you talking about?

Apparently

God was never alive.
But thiests and agnostics will spit the dummy at that

Think about that last comment.

ah but did any of the old gods really die. when i look at the stars in the night sky, sometimes i think of them as their hobo campfires. ancient gods having been made homeless. of course every name given them by humans, even calling them gods, well that is something we came up with ourselves. i don't think any of them ever said they were what people took them to be.

of course what am i talking about here? i don't claim to know.
i just think invisible friends are just like visible ones in some ways.
at the same time of course, there are certain things that are up to us,
whatever else may or may not happen to exist,
that among these things are the kind of world we all have to live in,
the survival of our own species,
and even of life (on this one particular planet, in this one particular solar system where we are) itself.

gods i think of as existing, in a way that has nothing to do with tangable, mortal life.
if it did, well i really don't see how, in any way shape or manor it logicaly could.

living organizms, need some sort of atmosphere to breathe, and the whole diverse cycle of life and life forms that make that possible. i suppose some sort of space going life form that has and does all that internaly could be conceivable, but that still wouldn't be the same thing as a god.

something that can synthazise something out of nothing with no more then a thought.
i mean, in order to be able to do that, it would have to be able to exist without there physicly being anything, and that right there, rules out tangable life forms as such. even self contained space going ones.

but it doesn't ruel out the possiblity, of actual, completely nontangable sentience.

the underlying purpose of this important and meaningful saying of Nietzsche is his trying to make people feel lonely for a while and without any supernatural power,but just themselves.nothing more...

 

Yeah, agnostics..huh? Well I'm an agnostic myself and We dont Spit on god..We dont agree with all the interpretations and there are various types of agnostics so you can apply that to some but not all...

So yeah,

by the way when you state who killed god, you need to say either all gods in general or a certain god..Because there are various gods out there depending on what you believe in.

to answer your question, god is no longer dead.But he needs another son for us to crucify.

 

I believe in a god. Not God himself. I live in the Northwest, one of the most secular places in the country. It has the least churches and the most proclaimed Aethiests. And I still see religion everywhere around me. Mostly Catholocism, Mormonism, and Islam. But the point is that, at least from my perspective, the world is at a high point in religion.

 

God isn't dead..it lives inside your head

 

God is not dead, because God was never born. God instead is the divine consciousness that permeates all reality,,as those realities. It is not where is God, but rather, where is there not. You are all a dream in the mind of God. God is the immanent absolute, your thinking mind is a filtering screen that prevents your awareness of this.
All realities, everywhere, all the universes, are all the body of God, before, beyond, and including time.

When Nietzsche said 'God is dead' (since philosophy is open to individual interpretation) I believe he was talking about mainly the Christian god, and how the Christian religion has killed their God by ruining the original morals and values and creating nothing sheep. Ever since Christianity has become the leading role in everyone's life and the church is the main thing in life, God has been dead. We (The masses) have killed him. I completely understand that this can differ from EVERYONE else, but that is the wonder of philosophy, no one can really be wrong.

 

according to my philosophy professor, Nietzsche said God is Dead, meaning that we have to rely on our own choice to create the definition "human". We cannot define ourselves through religious and theological terms.

I think that we are all God, so that throws Nietzsche out the window.....never liked him anyway

 

Man keeps creating God, so I guess, the concept is still alive, just like Santa Claus keeps popping up every time around Christmas.

 

God may not be dead, but Nietzsche sure as hell is (syphillis, as I recall). So why would we care about what he said, even if we can decide on what he meant? My take on what he said is that religion, as a set of doctrines defining who we are, why we're here, where we're going, etc., has reached a dead end and is no longer functional, giving us the freedom and responsibility to find our own answers to those questions. I agree. But God may be one of those anwers.

 

Nietzsche said it best when he said "there are no facts, only interpretations"

 

He went insane and died.....really! He was always sick, but he fricking went to the looney bin and died in a coma.
