God is not only dead, but his body was found and he was of remarkably tiny stature.
oops…from kids in the hall.
Go to the church of your choice and wait.
The universe declares the glory of God.
All things were created by Him and for Him.
God without limit.
Pastor Jack:
Tell me about dinosaurs and Noah’s Ark.
It’s my favourite story.
Oh come on now, that’s an old one!
I don’t care if it rains or freezes, long as I got my plastic jeesus, sitting on the dashboard of my car. (Steve- watch out when you’re pulling the skypilots’ chains- give them enough numbers and you’ll get burnt at the stake.) bwahahahah!
Well, the only certain thing here is that Nietzsche is dead.
Given the context of what he said, N was right too.
Pity that Marx was raised in his place and lives healthly still.
Yes, it’s true Nietzsche is dead. And the only reason we continue to talk about him is because of a little invention that was created to mass produce Bibles: the printing press.
Nietzsche first published the phrase “God is dead” in La Gaya Scienza in 1882.
As few scientifically minded people read Nietzsche carefully, few readers realize that Nietzsche studied math and physics quite carefully. (His interest in Darwin’s work is more well known.) Nietzsche checked Cantor’s set theory out of the Basel library numerous times and was plainly familiar with Cantor’s diagonalization proof, which he apparently used as a template for Zarathustra. Nietzsche’s entire oeuvre can be read as a handbook of applied chaos theory, self-organizing criticality and complexification, applied philosophically and religiously. Nietzsche thus sought to establish a god-less religion.
I’m halfway through Mind Wide Open: Your Brain and the Neuroscience of Everyday Life by Steven Johnson, and yet again (apart from the biological details) there is nothing new in a brain book that was not already in Nietzsche.
Yes, I read “La Gaya Scienza.” What a boring, useless, unproductive pile of shit. What he meant by the phrase is not that God suddenly died, but that we killed him (in our minds only) through our arrogance of “superior knowledge.”
I suppose there’s a theory out there now by some Marxist-worshipping, easy-life, soft, fat, tenured professor that explains how Nietzsche became insane beacuse he was denied tenure at the Univeristy of Colorado since he wasn’t as “native” as Ward Churchill.
(humor beyond Lefty brains)
Nietzsche’s works were intended to be, and evidently, are touchstones, largely reflecting the mind that reads it. This was the esoteric writing style he derived from Plato, Descartes and (Francis) Bacon.
“God is dead”. Reminds me of the book Towing Jehovah, where God dies, and his mile long body is floating n the Atlantic. Everybody freaks out – the atheists can’t deal with the truth of God’s existence and the religious can’t deal with him being dead. Hilarious! Not a comfortable read if you’re heavily into one camp or the other, though.
Mike H:
Camping with GOD, what a concept.
Didn’t Moses try to do that on Mount Horeb?
Exodus 3:1 (But seeing as he was in the desert that might be Exodust)
Oh let my people go! Break off the shackles of slavery, etc. Isn’t that PM Paul Martin’s election theme, with his renewed respect for people of faith communities?
It is unfortunate that the marriage commissioners were not accorded the same consideration. They could not, due to conscience, find themselves able to perform SSM.
But then if GOD is DEAD, as Nietzsche assures us we have properly murdered HIM; then the entire exercise is rendered nugatory.
So why is it that we still appeal to DIVINE PROVIDENCE in our throne speeches from the government?
But then MOSES gave us these little things called the 10 Commmandments. Apparently, they had something to say about murder, coveting, worship and oh yes that inconvenient proscription against theft!!
Maybe MOSES had something going on there after all!
I actually have read “Thus Spake Zarathustra”, as well as “Beyond Good and Evil”. Also, some of “Daybreak: Thoughts on the Prejudices of Morality”.
Although I disagreed with many of the contentions made by Nietzsche, I found that he indeed possessed the ability to spark the reader’s mind to expand rapidly and inspire one to think for oneself.
If y’all decide to read any of Nietzsche’s works, be very careful! That stuff can really mess with your mind if you let it.
Hmm… I recall Nietzsche’s concept of the “morality of the slave” and the “morality of the master”. Right now, the former is exemplified in those who continue to vote Liberal and NDP. The latter is represented by the Liberals.
Indeed, the time has come to break free of the shackles of the servitude from which we suffer at the hands of the Liberals.
The Liberals are not a bridge for Canada to prosperity, to borrow and alter a phrase from Zarathustra. We must not go the way of Liberalism, lest we be perpetually enslaved, never free, never of sovereign mind and spirit… for the Liberals are not a bridge to the New Canada, the Canada for which we passionately yearn and deserve ever so richly.
Nietzsche went totally insane the last 10 years before he died.
