God having gotten depressed and committed suicide would explain a lot, actually.
It would have been done long before humans, though. At least long before modern civ.

Isn't this sort of like Brahma? He's not that powerful anymore, Shiva is more important and so on.

>>18869240
no. nothing can cease to exist. youre here forever

God being dead does not mean the universe ceases to be, god's creations are perfect and death is the penance for perfection. God's death enriches the universe like compost on a field, and at some point all matter coincedentally returns to a previous form. Just like how the clouds rain, they don't disappear, they rejoin a greater mass, that will once again experience brief moments of individuality as raindrops.

>>18869240
Then he wouldn't be all powerful, as ceasing to exist would imply that he can't exerce power over things anymore.

Mainlander

>>18869240
but why would he do that though?

Read Mainländer. I mean, I haven't, obviously, but apparently he answers that question in Philosophy of Redemption

>>18869240
God can withdraw into self until there is no self left.

When you have nothing to do or accomplish all that's left is masochsim.

>all powerful
>could
The answer is yes by definition.

Can he create a cup of piss so large he cannot drink it?

>>18869601
yes it's called 4chan

>"Could one count such dilettantes and old maids as the sickeningly sentimental apostle of virginity, Mainländer, as a genuine German? After all he was probably a Jew – (all Jews become sentimental when they moralize)."

>>18869618
>I am a big boy
>Not the horserinooooo
Also he stole ideas from Mainländer. Nietzsche was also a virgin but that's not a bad thing.

We all know that quote, anon, and it's just insecurity manifest.

holy cope

>>18869240
I always think this Pepe has a pencil mustache and curtained hair. Would be cooler than just shadow desu

>>18869775
The cycle of cope continues.

>>18869804
>noo I need the last word in
pathetic

>>18869240
How could any necessary thing have contingency in relation to itself?

>>18869240
Yes.
All variations of the stone paradox fail miserably to take into account the difference between potentiality and actuality.

Could I kill myself? Yes. Does that mean I am dead? No.

>>18869629
>goes insane with syphilis
>v-virgin!
What did you mean by this?

>>18869247
That’s actually basically what happened, except instead of committing suicide he self induced dissociative identity disorder to give himself friends.
Hello, other part of me.

>>18869247
It happened before the world. The universe is the consequence of God losing self. No happy creation, but merely a fragmentation of the lost One.

>>18869240
no, because when its volition ceases, its ability to cease ceases.

>>18869905
hello!

>>18869775
Heckin cope-arino! :O

>>18869775
Mainländer lived and died by his philosophy unlike your faggot larper who said one thing and did the other.

Cope harder.

>>18869897
Fucking filthy whores is not an improvement from virginity. It's fucking pathetic.

>>18869905
>this is not mutually exclusive with what God is according to the bible

>>18869426
He floats it as an idea for how the universe came into being, that it was a way for God to commit suicide. I don't think he makes any argument for how and it's merely a desideratum.

>>18870808
Still it is a pretty metal idea and the Law of Entropy further solidify his claim.

The OP picture and subject falls in nicely with scene from The Demons where the guy who is going to kill himself to become god hides in complete dark while the other searches for the match to light a candle; I imagined the other guy pretty much like in this picture, where he finally finds the suicidee (I do not care that it's not a word).
Forgot the names.

>>18869240
Not while leaving us here. Existence is not self-sustaining.

>>18870487
Our universe is God's brains splattered on the walls if Heaven

>not an improvement from virginity
Kek, imagine thinking virginity is a value while discussing Nietzsche.

>>18870990
He himself gave it value by name calling other noble philosophers >>18869618
