“God is dead?” Nietzsche believes philosophy is not the pursuit of truth, because there are no truths, only interpretations. It is an attempt on the creator’s behalf to interpret reality in their favor. To support this point he examines master morality as opposed to slave morality. Master morality simply defined is a system of what is good and what is evil, set up by and based on those who have power. So it is not surprising that it would regard the qualities of a righteous to be essentially good

“God is dead”… this is one of the line that caught my attention and interest to watch a certain anime.

For instance, if it is true well, as a young student who was raised in a Christian way, I completely don’t believe with this idea. We live in a world beset by a lot of problems and sufferings. Some of these
“EXPLAIN WHAT IS MEANT BY ‘GOD IS DEAD’ AND ‘THERE IS NO GOD’” The statement “God is dead” and “There is no God” can be interpreted in many different ways. The term God is dead comes from the idea of a man called Freidrich Nietzche who put forward this, however the statement could also be interpreted from an atheist view that there is no God at all. These two statements differ in meaning as the term God is dead implies there is no need for God anymore and he is no longer, but this is suggesting
The existence of God has been debated by man for centuries. Some arguments are founded in logic and some in ignorance. People like to say that truth is relative; what is true for you may not be true for me. Unfortunately this has been the approach to many things, especially the existence of God.
