is god dead?

Answer 1

***is god dead? ***

Yes,
although i prefer absent without official explanation.

The only ones now that say they actually
have seen god are mostly unstable folks and
charlatans looking to separate you from your
money. Personal feelings don't count as actual evidence though, talking donkeys,snakes and burning bushes will be considered on an individual basis.

If some one believes they have verifiable proof of the actual existence of such a thing we have been waiting for you.

May the Good Lord Have mercy on us all.

Answer 2

Mu.

It's a Japanese word; it means, "no thing".

It means: not yes, not no, not one, not zero.

It means: the parameters of your question are such that no answer can be correct.

It means: un-ask the question.

First, you must establish that a god or gods ever even existed; then you can go on to contemplate whether they are alive or dead....

Answer 3

Could god be really have been said to be alive? That kinda places a limit on him.

Answer 4

If your church believes that God no longer speaks to man, and there are no longer such things as prophets, apostles, angels, revelations, etc....then I'd say your church believes that god is dead. I'd recommend that people find one that doesn't believe this.

Answer 5

If you're talking about God, the creator of the universe and mankind, the answer is Yes.

Answer 6

No, however, German poet and philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche is most famous for making the statement "God is dead" in the Nineteenth Century. Nietzsche, influenced by both Greek philosophy and the theory of evolution, wrote, "God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we, murderers of all murderers, console ourselves? . . . Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we not ourselves become gods simply to be worthy of it?" (Nietzsche, The Gay Science, §125).

Nietzsche's purpose was to abolish "traditional" morality-Christianity, in particular-because, in his mind, it represented an attempt of self-serving religious leaders to control the weak and unthinking masses. Nietzsche believed that the "idea" of God was no longer necessary; in fact, God was irrelevant because man was evolving to a place where he could create a deeper and more satisfying "master morality" of his own.

Nietzsche's “God is dead” philosophy has been used to advance the theories of existentialism, nihilism, and socialism. Radical theologians such as Thomas J. J. Altizer and Paul van Buren advocated the "God is dead" idea in the 1960s and 1970s.

The belief that God is dead and religion is irrelevant naturally leads to the following ideas:

1) If God is dead, there are no moral absolutes and no universal standard to which all men should conform.

2) If God is dead, there is no purpose or rational order in life.

3) If God is dead, any design seen in the universe is projected by men who are desperate to find meaning in life.

4) If God is dead, man is independent and totally free to create his own values.

5) If God is dead, the "real" world (as opposed to a heaven and hell) is man's only concern.

The idea that "God is dead" is primarily a challenge to God's authority over our lives. The notion that we can safely create our own rules was the lie that the serpent told Eve: "ye shall be as gods" (Genesis 3:5). Peter warns us that "there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction" (2 Peter 2:1).

The "God is dead" argument is usually presented as a rational, empowering philosophy for artists and intellectuals. But scripture calls it foolish. "The fool hath said in his heart, 'There is no God'" (Psalm 14:1). Ironically, those who hold to the “God is dead” philosophy will discover the fatal error in the philosophy when they themselves are dead.
