Have you heard of that madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the market-place...?

Question

and cried incessantly: "I am looking for God! I am looking for God!"?
What do you think of Nietzsche's quote?
"God is Dead."

Answer 1

Your question makes me think of several questions. Like, "God as defined by whom?" -

Of course, those offended by Nietzsche's famous comment had a rather snappy answer/response.

Clue:

That response is found metaphorically written on Nietzsche's tombstone.

(can you guess what was written on Nietzsche's tombstone?)

btw: I consider Nietzsche one of the world's great thinkers. I have referenced him in a few of the books I have written.


(Now, what about that naked man carrying a lantern and looking for an "honest man"?)

Answer 2

Nietzsche was sick!

"God is dead" is not meant literally, as in "God is now physically dead"; rather, it is Nietzsche's way of saying that the idea of God is no longer capable of acting as a source of any moral code.

Answer 3

Nietzsche must have believed there was a God otherwise he could not be dead.

Answer 4

There was once this big dude on R&S .. he had a really good sense of humour and I thought he was real bright... he used to end all his answers with " [insert sommat sammat sammat relevant] rocks!"

Now this question was made for him and he don't seem to be playing no more :(

God is dead. Crom! The idea of god is dead.

Answer 5

Nietzsche is fer sure dead.

Answer 6

That was in Zarathustra I think. Didn't the young man die, and then Zarathustra carried his body for hours?

Answer 7

Nietzsche was a Moron.

Answer 8

Nope!
