"God is dead; we have killed him," wrote Friedrich Nietzsche in one of his books. Only now do I think I have received an insight to what it might mean, at least to myself. It is true that God might exist, for we have created him through our belief systems, but that's exactly it! We have merged him with our lives; our unholy cores. In the old days, life was supposedly simple. Happy, even. Yet now, the world witnesses its own fall as corruption spreads faster than gossip. We, in our turn, tainted God's perfect image by our own deeds -- our killings and atrocities robbed God of what we once gave him; power.
We now don't look up to God for peace and safety. No, we now know that God is nowhere to be found in a battlefield. We killed him because we no longer hide behind our Jekyll. On the contrary, this era is all about what our Hyde can do -- doom and chaos is all we seem to see. No prayers sent to God anymore, for we have ended his reign.

I'll further explore this when I get to read "Thus Spake Zarathustra" by Nietzsche. Again, these mean no insult to any religion. I am merely thinking out loud.
