Alright, It have been working on this theory for a long time, My thesis is GOD is dead
God may have been omnipotent, and all. but eventually his lifespan is cut short. god may well be dead. This might be a profound statement for the "believers", but it may well be true. Now don't get me wrong, I like the idea that I can't control my objective, and that I may as well Just chill and relax. But I have seen too much shit, and been in to many situations where it come down to me and just one other person, Weather in love or in turmoil.
Honestly, I like the idea that everything is set out for me, I really do. That would make life so much easier. but I have come in to times, that I would really like to be " HEY THIS IS WHAT I DO!" give me a chance. And they have been granted to me, because, well I know my shit. I know how to get things done when need be. I am the product of many things, and this may well be one of the,
"on the seventh day god rested , after that, there was no more. Alpha Omega, that is all.
In, the end it all comes down to the fact that what you believe, and where ever you maybe be: Humans will never align. There are too many ways to "Escape" and this is not one of them. I love many people, and and many times I have imagined the bullet that kills me while I "defend" the very principles I "defend" I will live for what I know, and Die for peace on earth.
!bushy!
I love many things, and I hope the best for all I know. I wish my actions were my own, but they only indulge me more.

I read a few sentences, then the rest came off as vague jargon.

I guess the constitution of God would depend on what you see God as.
For me, it's alive and well, because my god made and gifted to me every tool I need to make it through life. It also left it entirely up to me whether I utilize my natural talents and abilities for the benefit or bastardization of self and others. So then, if I find myself in a situation where problems are mounting and asking God for help doesn't do shit...well, that's the expectation if I sit around waiting for divine help. I've received all the divine help I need. It's up to me to get off of my ass and invest my gifts wisely.
God is not dead...but perhaps the God you conceive of never existed in the first place?

Have you not heard of that madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the marketplace and cried incessantly: ‘I am looking for God! I am looking for God — As many of those who did not believe in God were standing together there he excited considerable laughter. Have you lost him then?’ said one. ‘Did he lose his way like a child?’ said another. ‘Or is he hiding? I he afraid of us? Has he gone on a voyage?’ — Thus they shouted and laughed. The madman sprang into their midst and pierced them with his glances. ‘Where has God gone?’ he cried. ‘I shall tell you. We have killed him — you and I. We are all his murderers. But how have we done this? How were we able to drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon? What did we do when we unchained this earth from its sun? Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving now? Away from all suns? Are we not perpetually falling? Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there any up or down left? Are we not straying as through an infinite nothing? Do we not feel the breath of empty space? Has it not become colder? Is more and more night not coming on all the time? Must not lanterns be lit in the morning? Do we not hear anything yet of the noise of the gravediggers who are burying God? Do we not smell anything yet of God’s decomposition? — gods, too, decompose. God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we, the murderers of all murderers, console ourselves? That which was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet possessed has bled to death under our knives — who will wipe this blood off us? With what water could we purify ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we not ourselves become gods simply to seem worthy of it?’
‘There has never been a greater dead — and whoever shall be born after us, for the sake of this deed he shall be part of a higher history than all history hitherto.’ Here the madman fell silent and again regarded his listeners; and they, too, were silent and stared at him in astonishment. At last he threw his lantern to the ground and it broke and went out. ‘I come too early,’ he said then; ‘my time has not yet come. This tremendous event is still on its way, still traveling — it has not yet reached the ears of men. Lightning and thunder require time, deeds require time after they have been done before they can be seen and heard. This deed is still more distant from them than the most distant stars -and yet the have done it themselves’ — It has been related further that on that same day the madman entered diverse churches and there sang a requiem aeternam deo. Led out and quieted, he is said to have retorted each time: ‘What are these churches now if they are not the tombs and sepulchers of God?’.....

Beautiful prose, and I understand the point he was going for, but I think Nietzsche fails in that man coming to be his own god is what allows man to see that god is indeed alive and well: Only by mastering and dominating yourself without the spoon-fed lies of predetermined purpose will you see that you have been gifted the raw materials with which you work...only then will you understand that It Is in the exact way that You Are and I Am.

Since god is only as real as the belief in him he yet lives.
Science has slowly but surely began to infect and posion his body of lies.
The only realm for God now is the gaps in science. What science fails to fully explain you have God now.
Before science was given a chance God explained everything to us. He explained the whole world. The Earth was at the center of everything etc. It was called the dark ages (thank god).
God is dying but he is not dead. He WILL die just as surely as Zues and Ra died. He is a fighter though. It is getting more difficult for christians to impose their views on the secular community.
Die you rat....die.

God probably is dead because he got lazy, gambled too much, and forgot to write names in his death note so he ran his lifespan out.

I am God in the same way I am Earth...a smaller part of the bigger system. Claiming to be the supreme would be pure egotism...seeing that even the tiny grain of sand you are is part of something huge and magnificent is not egotism.

lol your an idiot. Ra didn't die, he might as well be declared as the Christian God, and it's spelt Zeus, I'm not even sure if you could declare him a God, he was more of a demi-god. Remember, the Titans gave birth to Zeus, so if a God was born into any kind of reality, then wouldn't that make him an ascended being?
Ra and Zeus though, I see both as ascended being's even though many proclaim Ra to be a God. God doesn't have to be a "being", God could simply be existence itself. Just because it's so hard to comprehend or accept that God doesn't have to exist the way you see him to exist, doesn't mean he doesn't exist.

God is very much a live!
More importantly, so is his son Jesus Christ, without whom you will die in your sins!

As opposed to the Living Death of not sinning?

Jackketch, I am curious what your opinion is regarding JC, what his purpose on earth was etc. After all you did say you believe that JC was the son of God. Unless that was sarcasm..
Wow OP... not only did you try to pull off Friedrich Nietzsche's most commonly used (and it appears most commonly misunderstood) punch line as your very own... but in doing so you completely missed the point.
And Hexidecimal, I disagree.
