I reckon.

Is God Dead?

I had a friend ask me something recently which later on made me re-evaluate something The Uberman (Nietzsche) said, objectively. I mean, I agree with him on almost everything i’ve read from him, but then I think of his whole “God is Dead” thing.

alright, so, as the story goes, the madman/Zarathustra goes to town and says “yo everyone, God is dead. Where do you get your values from? If you don’t create your own soon, you’ll be a filthy nihilist, so man the fuck up why don’t you, and rule yourself”. more or less. so i hear that and give him a fist pump and a “HELL YEAH!” because, hell yeah! I agreed, and modeled my life as such, amoral dude, living how I may, not giving a fuck about what you think. So what, I think shaved pandas are sexy, piss off.

but then I thought “wait a second…God isn’t dead, tons of people base their morals off of him. was Nietzsche talking to just atheists? or was he trying to lazily convince people God was dead by teasing them into thinking for themselves?”

I reckon that’s why one of the books he mentioned this in was subtitled “a book for all and for none”, and also why he figured people would understand what he wrote much later after his death. well, it just put it in perspective for me, that yeah God might be dead, but not for everyone. I guess that’s why gay marriage and pot and nationalism and racism and basic insecurities people have and etc. is such a problem. God isn’t dead yet. 

Hurry up why don’t you?
