The Death of God

God is dead. So said Friedrich Nietzsche. But I’m not here to second what he said. I’m here to say that god is dead and nihilism is alive. Nihilism is the new world order, not in the world you and I inhabit, but in the world that must be. Look at what will happen now: one, there’d be no contest to who was the first true god; two, there’d be a confusion as to how god died and that’d take forever to solve; three, natural disasters will finally be what they really are, natural disasters and not the act of god; and o four, we’ll have enough place on earth to accommodate religious critics...

With the death of god comes the realisation that evil too is an illusion, of the fact that evil existed as long as god existed. So why question what is right and what is wrong? After all there existed god and there existed god’s nemesis. Until god existed we believed that society forms the rules, that the world is composed of boundaries, that the hail and the waters will wash away our sins and that retribution was proportionate to the life we led. God is dead, for there is nothing to live for. Who amongst us will resurrect god in the pure image god is alleged to possess? None. The believers of Christianity will resurrect him in the image of Christ, those of the Hindu religion will resurrect him in the images of their gods and the followers of Islam will resurrect the Prophet. But who is god? Is god a picture or an image, or is god the one thing that balances the scales between the necropolis of our souls and the gates of heaven?

I’m here on this planet because I am meant to be. What I am meant to be is determined not by the fate that god throws upon me, but the path of thorns that I choose over the path of roses. Not to say that I couldn’t have chosen the path of roses, but then when roses decay, they become food for the soil, but thorns live and die in a single state of being.

Behold the coming of the truth, and it isn’t part of the holy books. The world is on fire, at least theoretically, if only one can see past the manufactured life visions and states of being, to evolve, with the relativity of time, to form a new world order, to form the very spine of life – an existence of life, and not a life of existence.

Look at what’s gone before – death, wars, natural disasters, all a somber reminder of the darkness that envelopes the light even on the brightest day, but is not death the beginning of life anew? Is not war the harbinger of fate amongst humans and is not a natural disaster a scientific event? Indeed these are true, and god does not have a role to play in life nor in death, and god does not guard the gates to heaven and evil does not reside in hell. It is our combined diarrhea of false beliefs and an inherent fear of taught wrong that drives man to be weak. Man is not meant to be weak, man is not meant to follow patterns, but that’s what he does. Man follows patterns drawn amongst the ashes of the dead, unknowingly to his grave.

What lies beneath is the breath of a new world order, the beginning of an event that will re-write history that will create the revolution of thought and the revolution of life within. The revolution is the death of belief in god and his existence and it’s a glorious burden no more. Wake up to the coming of the winter sun, the rising of the molten waters and the burning of acid rain. We are here, in a world of confusion, in a web of lies, waiting to reform, rebuild and exist.
