Is God dead?

The responsibility belongs to someone who has the freedom to act.

Either God can exist or freedom, both cannot exist together.

That is the basic implication of Friedrich Nietzsche’s statement,

“God is dead, therefore man is free.”

That was a tremendous statement; its implications are many. Let me discuss this statement a bit.

All religions believe that God created the world and also mankind. But if you are created by someone, you are only a puppet, you don't have your soul. And if you are created by somebody, he can uncreate you any moment. He neither asked you whether you wanted to be created nor is he going to ask you, "Do you want to be uncreated?"

God is the greatest dictator if you accept the fiction that he created the world and also created mankind. If God is a reality, then man is a slave, a puppet. All the strings are in his hands, even your life. Then there is no question of any enlightenment. Then there is no question of there being any "free man" because there is no freedom at all. He pulls the strings, you dance; you cry; he pulls, you start murders, suicide, war. You are just a puppet and he is the puppeteer.

Then there is no question of sin or virtue, no question of sinners and saints. Nothing is good and nothing is bad, because you are only a puppet. A puppet cannot be responsible for its actions.

The responsibility belongs to someone who has the freedom to act. Either God can exist or freedom, both cannot exist together. That is the basic implication of Friedrich Nietzsche's statement: God is dead, therefore man is free.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I think he was talking about the God created by Religious Group. Indeed that God is dead.

It's you who is dead, God is not!

He is in His own Place.

But it is you who is in a pit and sand is about to be poured over you.

This is so typical of religious people. As soon as they see something like this, they feel that their God is being attacked, and they are ready to defend that Gid with every vile in them.

But how about you think this time, and yourself. Is it possible that there is a problem with our prior assumptions of God?

Calm down and think.

Everything is not an attack, but everything can be for learning.

So because Mr. Toyoda created the Camry, it does not have an engine?

That is what it means to be a Creator over their creations.

Wrong!

He created you to choose to choose Blessings or Curses, Life or Death, Right or Wrong!

Unlike your Camry and iPhone which have no power of choice, therefore, no liability or praise or honour or virtue.

But, you o creation, was given the power to Choose.

And you made your choice/choices, therefore, you either get praise or condemnation, honour of disgrace.

And thank God you already have experienced these things, unlike your Camry and phone and mannequin.

If you are always hearing Lies and wicked false hood being flung at your innocent Father, would you, not be angry?

I have replied you as calmly as I should be under the circumstances, what say you.

If you create a Toyota like you said....if there is a defect in the creation who do you blame. Like the ability to even do wrong, chose and sin. Who put it on man, and for what? And still tells you that there is nothing you will be able to do that would work if he doesn't approve it. That he still in control of everything.

Our evil here is working


So he is approving every evil? And will still judge you for doing them?

I made this post...to evoke thinking.

Think oooo, stop wasting your intelligence.

Change of Post! The issue is not about defects but lack of engine (soul) in man.

lucianotawinji:

Departure from Issue. You were talking about if "God is dead" and not "who put it in man".

So, try again and see if you can make a valid case without changing posts or traveling off point!
