"I wiped the blade against my jeans and walked into the bar. It was mid-afternoon, very hot and still. The bar was deserted. I ordered a whiskey. The barman looked at the blood and asked:

‘God?’

‘Yeah.’

‘S’pose it’s time someone finished that hypocritical little punk, always bragging about his old man’s power…’

He smiled crookedly, insinuatingly, a slight nausea shuddered through me. I replied weakly:

‘It was kind of sick, he didn’t fight back or anything, just kept trying to touch me and shit, like one of those dogs that try to fuck your leg. Something in me snapped, the whingeing had ground me down too low. I really hated that sanctimonious little creep.’

‘So you snuffed him?’

‘Yeah, I’ve killed him, knifed the life out of him, once I started I got frenzied, it was an ecstasy, I never knew I could hate so much.’

I felt very calm, slightly light-headed. The whisky tasted good, vaporizing in my throat. We were silent for a few moments. The barman looked at me levelly, the edge of his eyes twitching slightly with anxiety:

There’ll be trouble though, don’tcha think?’

‘I don’t give a shit, the threats are all used up, I just don’t give a shit.’

‘You know what they say about his old man? Ruthless bastard they say. Cruel…’

‘I just hope I’ve hurt him, if he even exists.’

‘Woulden wanna cross him merself,’ he muttered.

I wanted to say ‘yeah, well that’s where we differ’, but the energy for it wasn’t there. The fan rotated languidly, casting spidery shadows across the room. We sat in silence a little longer. The barman broke first:

‘So God’s dead?’

‘If that’s who he was. That fucking kid lied all the time. I just hope it’s true this time.’

The barman worked at one of his teeth with his tongue, uneasily:

‘It’s kindova big crime though, isn’t it? You know how it is, when one of the cops goes down and everything’s dropped ’til they find the guy who did it. I mean, you’re not just breaking a law, your breaking LAW.’

I scraped my finger along my jeans, and suspended it over the bar, so that a thick clot of blood fell down into my whisky, and dissolved. I smiled:

‘Maybe it’s a big crime,’ I mused vaguely ‘but maybe it’s nothing at all…’ ‘…and we have killed him’ writes Nietzsche, but—destituted of community—I crave a little time with him on my own.

In perfect communion I lick the dagger foamed with God’s blood."

I'm European and I do not understand the hate for americans. A large portion of the smartest people on earth are and have been americans.
And even if you don't like their culture, you can't deny that they have been the biggest influence on the rest of the world in 20-21st century.

My friend once said something very enlightening about eastern Europeans. "There are only 2 types. Either they know 4 languages have read the entirety of the western canon have 4 phds and are shortlisted for the Nobel prize or they like to smoke meth and drive directly into walls as a hobby"
I feel the same way about Americans. Either they are exceptional or the types you see on twitter. This retarded consumerist globohomo that are pathological and have no ability to self reflect and grow

Yeh and their influence has ruined us all.

Why are there so many dumb frogposters on this board? It's like I've wandered onto reddit or facebook.

Their influence in the rest of the world is the defining reason why I despise their "culture". It's like some sort of parasitic entity that makes everything spiral down.

The Lutheran influence on Nietzsche cannot be endured once noticed.

You're telling me that organized religion has actually convinced you that there's a magical, invisible, metaphysical entity who watches everything that you do?

Anon, I......

To forgive is divine, is it not?

>>15973931
all the more reason to hate them

>>15974060
his religiosity is too idiosyncratic, probably everyone here on /lit/ agrees with Jung's good

>>15973795
How someone could take angels and demons, miracles, and Noah's Ark seriously puzzles me. The existence of other religions and the supernatural entities never showing up--weren't they giveaways?

It's fun to ridicule positions you've heard many times before when you're addicted to novelty. But just remember that no amount of negative characterizations can cover up for your lack of a persuasive counterargument.

reading Nietzsche won't help. people larp because their parents larp. larping is cured only by psychoactive drugs.

>A survey of scientists who are members of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press in May and June 2009, finds that members of this group are, on the whole, much less religious than the general public.1
>Indeed, the survey shows that scientists are roughly half as likely as the general public to believe in God or a higher power.
>According to the poll, just over half of scientists (51%) believe in some form of deity or higher power; specifically, 33% of scientists say they believe in God, while 18% believe in a universal spirit or higher power.
>By contrast, 95% of Americans believe in some form of deity or higher power, according to a survey of the general public conducted by the Pew Research Center in July 2006.
>Specifically, more than eight-in-ten Americans (83%) say they believe in God and 12% believe in a universal spirit or higher power.
>Finally, the poll of scientists finds that four-in-ten scientists (41%) say they do not believe in God or a higher power, while the poll of the public finds that only 4% of Americans share this view.
Daily reminder that theism and spirituality are literally and objectively proven to be for uneducated rubes.

The more familiarity you have with the Sciences, the less likely you are to be religious.
