Very awesome God...truth be told when I saw the title of the thread, first thing that came to my mind was 'god' before I saw the 'G'
-So I opened the thread expecting to see 'soponna' and 'ogun'...

I started wondering your aim. Maybe it's a history thread.
Only '1 person' has all these names, goes a long way in showing how awesome He is.

God is dead...

*modified*
YES!! God is dead and We have killed him - you and I. We are his murderers. But how have we done this?
Do we not smell anything yet of God's decomposition? Gods too decompose. God is dead. God remains dead.
God is dead in the hearts and minds of his own generation of modern men - killed by an indifference that was itself directly related to a pronounced cultural shift away from faith and towards rationalism and science. This same God, before becoming dead in men's hearts and minds, had provided the foundation of a "Christian-moral" defining and uniting approach to life as a shared cultural set of beliefs that had defined a social and cultural outlook within which people had lived their lives. Earthly lives could become more joyful, meaningful and "healthy" when not lived within narrow limits set by faith-related concerns for the state of an individual's eternal soul. Brethren, are we this blind to see that we've been living in bondage?? the acceptance that God is dead will hopefully lead to the ending of long-established standards of morality and of purpose Without the former and accepted widely standards society has to face up to the possible emergence of a nihilistic situation where peoples way of life are not particularly constrained by faith-based considerations of morality or particularly guided by any faith-related sense of purpose. I'll bow here!
