I believe that's the first sentence of "Also sprach Zarathustra" (Thus Spoke Zarathustra)

It makes me think of all the people who haven't read any Nietzche beyond this line.
Never mind the ones who take this line out of context.
(And also how long it will be before somebody posts that ever so old joke of "Nietzsche is dead".)

Frankly, I'm surprised that he was broadcasting that information 18 centuries after the occurrence.
I'm actually more astonished that he also didn't get the report of God's resurrection shortly after his death.
Maybe Nietzsche got the news 3 days later and forgot to issue an amendment to his story.

These are the very words of those who are seeking to find Him in the matter. These are also the words coming from someone who expects everything to be answered or to be coming from God and when nothing happens instead of thinking that the answer is within us or within what we are supposed to do with ourselves. Since he cannot find God the way God should be found, man's ultimate word will be He is dead.

Nietzsche was a pop philosopher...but he is a favorite of anarchists and college students, even though neither group has really read much of what he actually wrote.

It makes me think that Nietzsche was a man without hope, without purpose, and without joy in his life. Isn't it interesting that he wanted to spread his thoughts and have others think the way he did? What is that saying? Misery loves company.

that Nietzsche believed in God. Else how could God "die"?
And he didn't mean it literally anyway.

Reminds me of a T-shirt I saw once:
"God is dead" - Nietzsche
"Nietzsche is dead" - God
===edit==
BTW, wasn't Nietzsche one of Adolph Hitler's favorite philosophers? I believe that he was.

I see that atheist also make spelling error in german. It makes me also think of the obvious interpretation for the majority of the western civilisation god is no longer the most important thing , most dont belief anymore in the existance in god , hence god ist tod.
