God is dead. There is no reason to believe otherwise. The concept of God used to be something, mean something. Any significance that a Higher Being used to hold has now vanished without a trace. German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche famously declared “God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off

of Nietzsche’s major achievements to detect psychological underpinnings. Nietzsche says that God is dead; he means God is not a source for a meaning anymore. Nietzsche believes that the death of God is the main issue of present moral presumptions. "The God is dead" phrase is a way to say that West Europe and whole humans maybe do not believe in any such order anymore. Nietzsche says that the death of God will set to refusal of a faith of universal or physical order, however, also to a refusal of

God’s not dead and we did not kill him, Nietzsche did. Nietzsche comes up with a claim that God is dead. He supports this claim by describing a madman frantically running around town looking for an honest person, he is looking for God. Their responses are laughter assuming the man is crazy. The madman eventually comes to the conclusion that humanity is unaware of the death of God and its significance. The significance will take time to reach the people.

Nietzsche once says that “God is dead.” He mentions it first in New Struggles and stated “After Buddha was dead, his shadow was still shown for centuries in a cave.” (Page 167) His shadows are the only thing left after he was “dead”. It is the uncompleted forms of God that human have thought they have grasped. There is no one that can grasp God completely because no one has seen God with their own eyes before. Hence, they can’t accurately state the image of God, they could only assume. Even when

“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him.” (Gay Science, 126) This harsh statement remains among Friedrich Nietzsche’s most powerful and disturbing quotes, spoken by a proclaimed Madman to a crowd of disbelievers. After making this claim, the Madman becomes horrified by his audience’s ignorance, noting that “This tremendous event is still on its way.” This has an effect of suspending the Madman’s message in time, expanding its audience infinitely, for the event of God’s death could

Friedrich Nietzsche’s claimed that “God is Dead” which means that religion and God are not needed to understand the world anymore and the reliance on God has declined greatly. Instead of religion, our society has started to depend on science to shape our beliefs and help us make our decisions. Nietzsche’s claim is both correct and incorrect. Church, theology, and God has become less relevant to society, but religion is still very important culturally and socially. Friedrich Nietzsche’s

The quote “God is dead,” as stated in Parable of a Madman, is one of the most powerful statements of the early 20th century. Within his essay, Friedrich Nietzsche pointed out an evident cultural shift towards rationalism rather than faith within the modern man. Growing up in an intense Christian atmosphere, Nietzsche’s view began to grow vastly different than others during his time. He thought of the influences of the Christianity tradition as being harmful and excessively restrictive to his own

In 1882 a German philosopher named Friedrich Nietzsche made the statement that, “God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him.” By saying this he meant that moral principles should not be based off of god. Based off of the many evils imposed by the human race is it not so farfetched that someone could agree with Nietzsche’s cage rattling statement? Many people began to wonder if there was a God then how could there be so many manmade atrocities created that harm and go against everything
