Now I'm confused!!! Some of you say she did, some of you say she didn't, some of you say she is a he...which is it. Can there be no real answer? There has got to be an answer...

She realized she had never existed, and promptly vanished in a puff of logic.

Nietzsche announced the death of God in his, *The Gay Science*.
The "death of God" isn't the literal of death God. The "death of God" is the transition in Europe at which point society began to find its ground less on religious principles and more on scientific principles. To Nietzsche, this was not neccesarily a better situation: under God, or under science, people still deny themselves a full existence by grounding their existences, not on themselves, but on some nebulous greater power. When God "died", humankind cast off one crutch in exchange for another.
At any rate, Nietzsche was apparently wrong: the Enlightenment has not succeeded in casting off the religious crutch.
edit: Hey, folks, don't bash me just because I'm not being all religious here. I'm just answering the question. The "death of God" is a philosophical construct and I'm letting the asker know what the content of that philosophical construct is. Jeez. I'm not bashing God.
By the way, God transcends petty human crap - and that includes gender. God is above "he" and "she" - so all of you who are insisting that God is a He, better wrap your hearts and heads around what God really is: don't you dare define God in your silly little gender terms.

First of all God is NOT a she. God is a HE! God has at not time died! His Son, His only begotten Son since from before the creation, He it is that died for our sins. God = Jehovah, can not die, He is the life of everything, and everything around His is alive, the river of life that flows out of His throne, His throne, His chariot, His breath (called the Holy Spirit/Ghost), etc.

It's kind of hard for an idea to die. In the words of the late and very great Dave Allen (Irish Comedian and Philosopher) 'may whichever God you believe in go with you".

Not positive. After Nietzsche made his pronouncement lo these many years ago, I think it faded away like the good doctor in "Catch-22."

God does not die, God is Immortal if God died than there will be no difference between humans and God and one who dies cannot be God.

God didn't die, Jesus did. As the spotless "Lamb of God," He paid the price of our atonement with His death. Then He arose.

A God must live before it can die, therefore God never died.
