This is pretty much what Nietzsche was getting at in his often misunderstood quote about 'God is dead', which is actually part of a larger 'Parable of the Madman' - see here if you've never read it, it's pretty insightful IMO: http://www.historyguide.org/europe/madman.html http://www.historyguide.org/europe/madman.html
- jrvarela56 4y agoMy understanding is that Nietzsche meant ‘truth’ was dead. Atheism and downfall of religion was not controversial at his time - he meant something else and was misunderstood because his message has become obvious only recently. https://youtu.be/CkkgjxFcA5Y https://youtu.be/CkkgjxFcA5Y
