God is Dead!

    Nietzsche said, "God is dead."

    He was referring to the fact that atheism will take over as more and more people start to disbelieve in God, and soon the concept of "God" will altogether die out.

    Do you agree or disagree?

    Did Nietzsche predict his death first?

    God is an ocean of love and each one's soul is a drop of love hard covered with our ego,mind,desires,sins and virtue

    when one is not capable of receiving or giving love(that is the cover is so hardened with hatred,etc.)
    , his soul is almost dead, and God does not exist for him.

    Yes if someone is not capable of receiving/giving love and can only spew venom of hatred,violence , God does not exist for him. And his soul is almost dead

    For some people, GOD is hope. That why they pray, to keep their hope alive. If they are in trouble, and have no one to help them, they will looking for God for help.
    It's human, when they happy, they forget about God, but when they in sorrow or sadness, they will remember God.

    So, in this case, I disagree with you. God is not dead, only forgotten.

    The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

    If God has a problem with it, he can create an account on DP just like anyone else.

    I agree with you Ephemeral.
    God must be dead, at least I haven't seen him for ages.

    Being dead means that you have been living at some point right ?
    Living, is that if you had a body and stayed on earth ? Can someone "live" without a body ?
    Please explain.

    I disagree...partly because Nietzsche is dead;) , and we know where his remains are buried.
    But on the otherhand, :D No one, no one, no one, has been able to located the remains of GOD and/or JESUS CHRIST!:D

    BTW, You shouldn't worry to much about "the concept of" GOD dying out, because I've got it from a very Reliable Source, that :
    JESUS CHRIST is coming back to TAKE OVER!

    It was once thought that religion would completely die out by 2000 and instead it's actually growing!
    So I think religion will start to decline again but science will be one of the deciding factors...

    For example... the big bang is just a theory and until someone can give a theory/fact that doesn't break the rules of physics (the big bang states that an explosion happened in "0 time" meaning it happened when there was no time and it says that the matter was created from nothing!

    If no reliable idea is thought up then maybe religion will grow more?

    I know some scientists will disagree...
