>God is dead

Guess what? Billions of people still believe in God. In fact, religions like Islam just keep growing and growing. God is very much alive, friends

How could one man be so wrong? Why is he still taken seriously by anyone besides edgy atheists?

So since you took "God is dead" to exclusively mean "there is no god" then I can almost certainly conclude that you didn't read anything he wrote.

Lol what do you expect?

The masses gonna mass, the herd gonna herd.

You can't expect the majority to see the truth, the majority exist to follow.

>> No.10040090

You mean

>God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?

the idea that we're the gods already exists in hinduism.

Research that I know of does indeed predict increases of religion in most regions. Only parts of Europe seem to become less religious. Interestingly, Czechia is the least religious.

At least read a fucking essay if you want to brag about your deep comprehension of Nietzsche. When he said "God is dead" he meant that mankind is ready to free itself from the belief in a transcendental daddy and make its own moral. Obviously he was wrong, because people like YOU still exist.

People saying that they believe in God =/ People behaving as if God exists

Nietzsche's critic still stand true: almost no one really believes that their God exists, otherwise they would not behave in the way they behave.

He already wrote a followup to you:

>God is dead; but given the way of men, there may still be caves for thousands of years in which his shadow will be shown. And we still have to vanquish his shadow, too.

that's dumb though
"people who claim to believe in God behave like they don't believe in God" only implies that these people are incoherent, not that they are secretly atheists for whatever reason
