  • Awesome video! inspired me to do my midterm on this!

  • then if god is dead, let's make zombie of him and have our flesh and bones to satisfy his Resurrected hunger or has he been doing so already with many of us buried in HIM.

  • Nietzsche was correct, God realy is dead, at least the God that was the central character of European religion since the 3rd century. A diminishing few still try to keep that god alive, but he's virtually gone. We need something else to replace him, to bind us together. Perhaps it is science and something like a modern Buddhism with compassion at its core. Those who are still trying to flog the old Christian god back to life have become neurotic and destructive.

  • @MrDominex The internet is the new god

  • John Proctor said this first, but it had a completely different meaning...

  • Christians have killed God by their hypocrisy. Simple as that.

  • @WhiteWashedPain No. Whether Christians follow their god's rules or not does not affect God's death; rather, a god as the source of morals for our world is dead because of what can be can be called the enlightenment of man, the seeing through the ruse of God, His lack of evidence, His nonsense. The morals imposed up until the Death hinged on God and the prejudices and ideas of old civilizations. But now we may judge morals and hold them to our own standards. That is what I gather from the quote.

  • @WhiteWashedPain "Morals" in what I just wrote can also be replaced by "values". And actually, I think what I wrote is the standard interpretation of the quote. Not trying to make myself all big and everything. I just feel that the "Christians are hypocrites" line is a bit too trite and emotionally-charged for our purposes, and felt the need to address it.

  • God, you're FIRED!

  • How can something that never exsisted be dead. Gods not dead, HE ISNT REAL...

  • @Suffersosweetly How can you be so certain? It really startles me when people are so confident about the non-existence of a God, Allah or whatever higher being. There's so much we don't know about the universe we live in. I can understand agnosticism because the world is a largely mysterious place. But how can one be so adamant about something as vast as the existence of God? I respect your opinion. I just want to know how you can be so sure.

  • @djoh1186 Religion is man made in my opinion. Made up to try to explain nature and the universe. The christian "god" Jesus has way too many inconsisties written about him. For example his name, his picture, 80% of his life is missing. the bible is a story, not a lifestyle. My idea of faith is based on life and respect of people, and i dont need a god watching every move I make only to scrutinize. I respect peoples choice to believe, but I kinda need more than a empty promise.

    Suffer.

  • @Suffersosweetly But if you have faith, how can you not believe in something that is not black and white?

    Not sure what you meant by "empty promise" or "suffer" either...?

  • @djoh1186 Faith in life, myself, not religion or some omnipresent spirit. When I say "empty promises" I am referring to promises in the bible. my screen name is "suffer - so - sweetly. when I say "suffer" its just my name, not a request. look up fundamentalist atheist, its quite interesting. there is alot to learn about religion and many of the misconceptions. If you have an hour or two, why dont you start with the film, "Zeitgiest". you can watch it here on youtube.

    Suffer.

  • "my god's not dead he's surely alive and he's liven' on the inside roarin' like a lion"

  • Comment removed

  • God is not dead, he just doesn't give a damn.

  • @DeadHorizon01 That wasn't God, that was the Coroner.

  • The music is entirely inappropriate for this communication of Nietzsche's.

  • God isn't dead. Because he was never alive to begin with. :D

  • it was necesary for god to die in order for life on this earth as suchto be valued.

  • omfg you're all wrong! God is nature! Man through technology has evolved beyond the control of natural selection, Thus god is dead and man is the new god.. Man is a rope tied between beast and overman, Thus we either force eugenics upon our selves and evolve into overman, or we continue down the path of decadence and egalitarianism, and evolve once more into beasts..

  • Now Nietchze is called one of the greatest thinkers of all time...

    But he is dead, God is not.

    And now....wasn't it Nietschze who wanted a global government? Why?

  • @Neon241 Nietzsche is called one of the greatest thinkers of all time. What does this mean? That simpletons, such as you demonstrate yourself to be, are incapable of understanding him. Nietzsche is dead, so what? Everything dies. You and I and everyone and everything will die... and who knows, perhaps gods die too? This isn't a refutation of anything except immortality.

  • Nietzsche is dead- God

  • @picklepie159 Do you even understand Nietzsche's point?

  • @kly45 Do you understand humor? Jesus Christ, lighten up, man.

  • @picklepie159 okay fair enough. But you have to understand that every single fundie out there takes this point at face value and thinks they're being clever when they don't even understand the argument. Jesus christ indeed!

  • @anarchopaperclip exactly.I fear that even many writers etc.do not fully understand what you have said in your comment:most people think that Nietzche is a anarchist philosopher,and that if humanity forgets god,everyone will kill themselfes etc.Nietzche prepared us for the day when most people will no longer believe in god,and will not be blinded by false beliefs.He realized many things that are trully happening,this is why he should be considered a very wise man.

  • For Christians, God was dead, was he not? Did he not die on the cross? Haven't his killers, the Romans and his accusers, the Jews elevated themselves to Godlike and'/or (at least) "chosen" status. Is not the Judeo-Christian "civilization also a conspiracy to wash the blood from their hands? Parables like poetry can be read different ways and understood to mean different things.

  • The Wisdom of God helps a man not to Think, lest he think wrong. Its better to believe than to Understand and its better to Repent than apologize.

  • "Religionist": I know I'm dealing with a hack when someone uses that word. It's not even a word, dufus! Don't believe me? Look in the dictionary. It's a made-up "new atheist" word.

  • What about God's famous words...Nietzsche is Dead!

  • @MegaGayjesus They could never have been spoken by this object you call god for obvious reasons.

  • Brilliant! I have read "Thus Spake Zarathustra" but have never read this... until now!

    Such depth, such logic, this is rarely found on the internet!

  • the earth is flat. it is also 3000 years old. babies are made by men (aristotle). the moon is a god. the sun is a god. animals are reincarnates of us. isome guy lived inside of a big fish, snakes can talk, and gods play games and have feelings just like humans. WHAT THE HELL kind of shit did people believe back then?

  • what has thisd music to do with Nietzsche´s text? Nothing.

  • God was killed.. By the rise of human intelligence and great thinkers like Nietzsche.

  • Have none of you heard of figurative speech?

  • and religion is nothing more than the feted stink of their decomposing God

  • there is quite a bit of ignorance from both sides, but then again i suppose it can be easy to misunderstand Nietzsche

  • yeah sry its just that the way he expresses himself is so lame. sounds like a drunk confused shakespeare who pretends to know what he's talking about. it sounds like a nice story.... he amde up, but otherwise i dont really get it. like we can say god over and over, but i dont think thats what hes tlaking about. otherwise, great video

  • Excellent! God is indeed DEAD!

  • Existentialism OWNS religion............ most religous people are to stupid or to close minded to understand it

  • @noentrie

    i dont believe in god, but i dont get it... is he really... talking about something or anything?

  • @migso He doesn't mean god is dead in a physical sense rather god no longer suffices as a metaphysical explanation for our exisistence. It's apart of the whole existential movement.

  • @migso what nietzsche says is god is dead we killed him. what he means is we dont believe in god so we kill god by not believing in him and thats what he meant by that quote. i know he is hard to understand but thats what he is saying

  • Thats true.... God's only excuse is that He doesn't exist. God or Devil both false gods, i am not try rude or against nothing more than that i thoughtful, okay.... i am just guy ! Scientism, Satanism, Buddhism ALL do not believe in God or Devil.... Both false Gods..... What if someone ask question about " Whats next or Then what " I will answer Take care of yourself.

  • the music is too soft for this harsh text.

  • People get in a psychiatric clinic for less than believing in an imaginary figure that gives them orders how to live but only talks to them through a book written 2000 years ago (sorry for my bad english^^).

  • This passage makes me feel awesome to be a human.

  • God id dead for me¡

  • As usual, militant religionists misunderstand and misquote Nietzsche. His statement was a lament for the loss of spiritual values, not some triumphant athiest manifesto. He was merely asking, fearfully, what would replace the role of god in our hearts once we realize that god is a myth.

  • @luvdomus I've always more interpreted it as a direct fear of the truth, of the inexistance of God, and the sober understanding of what leads people into the escape of religion.

  • @luvdomus I like your comment.

  • You gotta luv Freddie. The Jewish [anthropomorphic] papa in the sky is dead.  We don't need Big Daddy to explain the universe anymore. Nothing wrong with that.

  • God says"Nietzsche is dead"!!

  • @orderofmelchizedek1 God says? be careful, if you think God is talking, its called psycosis.

  • the truth is ... nietzsche is dead.

  • @tidurmiring Truth is Nietzsche existed, god did not.

  • what song is this?

  • him

  • I thought it meant that we no longer need god because we place no trust in him. Instead, we place trust in men and science. We don't need God to answer the big questions anymore, that is what science does. God has run his course and is no longer needed. We have, thus, killed

  • this was also the same man put into a mental institution, this showing you, that irrational thought gets you nowhere..lol

  • @macdaddymomma Yeah, he was put in AFTER he composed his body of work. His arguments are sound, regardless of what happened to him later. Don't fall into the trap of fallacious reasoning. By your logic, no one should believe in Jesus because he was an unrepentant criminal subversive whose thought got him nowhere...accept nailed to a cross (although even this is debatable - some believe he was actually hanged, but that's neither here nor there).

  • I just picked up a spoon... that changed reality

    As far as your superstitions, you're right- I can't make those things exist... and no number of prayer beads can do that either

  • No, you just made that up

  • @blackbuddha20

    you idiot

  • Well done Sir, Well Done Indeed:)

  • It seems that most people here misunderstand Nietzsche's statement, as usual. God is dead means that christianity has (will?!) most of its influence. Nietzsche also warns us about the dangers of this newly found freedom, atheism.

    Are we ready for that freedom? After all those centuries in a warm dream, few of us still know how to produce fire for themselves. Will the infant survive out of the womb into the winter?

    Those who won't go mad will thrive. We are those Über-menschen.

  • Which book is this out of?? I love Nietzsche quotes. I own several books about Nietzsche, but none as far as 'the will to power', 'thus spoke zarathustra' etc. I'd like to read this one that you are quoting.

  • I'm not quoting any book, this is my own stuff. Maybe one day you will find me at Barnes&Noble ;P. Or not:

    "Some men are born posthumously" Nietzsche, The Antichrist.

    The best Nietzsche books you can find are Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil and Twilight of the Idols. TSZ is the hardest one.

    The video is an aphorism from "the Gay Science", which is not his best work.

  • "As soon as you smash the locl provincial god-form, God comes back.

    And thats what Nietzsche meant when he wrote god is dead. Nietzsche was himself not an atheist in the crude sense; he was a man of enormous religious spirit and power. What he meant was that the God whos fixed and defined in terms appropriate for 2,000 years ago is no longer so today." - Joseph Campbell

  • excuse me I meant to type "local" not "locl", lol.

  • @anarchopaperclip Actually, completely the opposite. "Newly found freedom, atheism". What an asinine statement. Atheism is the oldest quasi-belief system since the beginning of time. Nietzsche was saying that "God" is dead because looking for answers in such an empty vessel is now a degressive way of thinking. Until we "kill" "God", we can never think freely.

  • @xSPLENDAx Now atheism is an ancient quasi-belief system? How do you support this?

  • @TempleOfSin Atheism is a lack of religion. Religion is a creation. There was a time before man created religion (God). Everything is born without a religion... How do I even need to support that? lol unless you think things are born believing in a god.

  • @xSPLENDAx Atheism is not a lack of religion. Atheism is a response to religious claims. Religious believers make superstitious claims, and atheists reject those claims because they have no empirical support.

    If religion didn't exist, the position of atheism wouldn't exist, because there would be no superstition to debunk. I look forward to a day when it will be unnecessary for people to identify themselves as atheists.

    So more or less, I think we are in agreement.

  • @TempleOfSin exactly well said !!! chistians and jews at one point were called athiests for not believing in roman pagan gods. so they united christian,jewish and roman pagan ideology and created the bible.

  • @anarchopaperclip You are exactly right, but if you are going to post your bombastic responses. Please watch your grammar.

  • @JoeyS1984 English is only one of many secondary languages for me. Sorry if I haven't reached perfect fluency yet.

  • @anarchopaperclip Exactly and all the christ furfags trying to say that hes the devil or something need to shut their mouth

  • @anarchopaperclip Nicely put! I especially like the "warm dream" metaphor.

  • @anarchopaperclip thats the only thing that scares me more than fanactic fundimentalist believers is when people finally realise they are free... there is no way humanity is sane enough to have control over it's behaviour with out the shepards staff prodding us back into line.

  • @derickhaywood; look back at history when the shephard staff was prodding us back into line. Would you like the return of the witchunt, ? The Inquisition ? The participation in the Slave Trade, the destruction and plunder of the american -indian civilizations ? The 30 year war ? The Pogroms and expulsions of jews ? The holding back of scientific progress ?

  • @anarchopaperclip GOD IS DEAD! yeah baby! better accept it dude...don't be in denial!!! hahaha! geezzz...stupid god-believer

  • i disagree,there is no proof he ever existed,but Neitzsche,we can visit his grave!!!

  • where did god say nietzsche was dead? nietzsche is dead, simple as that, he'd still be dead even if your god said he was alive, you know why? because the god from your religion does not exist. Basically, your just listening to an imaginary voice in your head, i suggest you seek some help.

  • Pardon the pun but 'Oh My God'! What a beautiful video!

  • song the black lizard by pink martini

  • nietzsches also dead...and with god.

  • Where is this song from? Love the video man
