# Nietzsche goes hard - God is dead

> 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?

 - One of my favourite writings, ever.
 - I could write an entire essay on this but I don't think it is safe to write. Maybe some other day.
 - I can see how suppression of free speech can drive a person mad. Nietzsche went mad. I don't blame him.

> This is what it feels like to be hunted by something smarter than you

 - The end of civilisation itself, because atheists failed to become worthy of their self-proclaimed godhood. Become god or die trying.
