When you can't tell satire from stupidity any more
"Friedrich Nieztsche wrote, in the 1960’s, that “God is dead.” I recall that everybody was horrified that he would say such a thing."

He then wrote "And so am I. Braiiins."

Wow. The stupid, it burns!

Also, I love the Bengalis of the United States being today's unreached people. I guess that somehow they just haven't been exposed to evangelical Christianity?

What he meant was that people in Western culture had become so self-sufficient that they no longer depended upon God for anything.

What a horrifying thought, to be dependent on the aid of someone who never answers their e-mail, doesn't check their messages, and never ever calls you back. It sounds as though Nieztsche was mistakenly nostalgic for living in the Age of Miracles. (Thanks, I'll take even 1960s technology over even 1560s technology.)

I always thought it meant that the idea of the universal truth was dead -- we can't have one single thing be true any more -- now that those pesky Protestants were running around singing in English and drinking grape juice.
