God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?
Jordan Peterson and Ravi Zachariah are conservative Christian who understands the god is dead quote as understood by Neitzche. Neitzche knew if God is dead, man would unleash tyranny on himself without restraint. As we have come to know without the notion of God many men have found the works of Nicolle Makaveli insightful to political progress (purging). Stalin with the millions of Russians murdered for political purging. Mao with the millions of Chinese. Pol Pot with the millions. God is dead and so too are our moral grounding and the end justifies the means. Today Chinese will say millions are worth a unified China. How so easily those words roll off their tongues as benefactors of the suffering and lives lost. They didn't seem to care Or empathize with the suffering or pay any respect to their sacrifices. Tomorrow, is the cost of hundreds of millions human dignity acceptable for progressing AI and Automation? If God is dead, and in accordance to the Prince by Makaveli, ABSOLUTELY! Is a world where your child is a means to an end a world worth embracing? Or should we embrace a world of compassion, love and empathy? If God is dead, who will stop monsters? Good men? On what grounds? What mode/mindset will secularism show again?
