Long FB Rant coming on. I keep seeing people post Gods Not Dead and while I agree with the sentiment. That is the most misunderstood phrase ever. When Nietzsches wrote that God is Dead and we have killed him The western world had depended on the rule of God (organised religion) for thousands of years — it gave order to society and meaning to life. He saw how religion was losing influence, and he predicted Without it society would become nihilistic (without purpose). Nietzsche may have been thought of as nihilistic (more existentialist than anything) but he also realised the danger of widespread Nihilism. He wasnt Expressing a lack of belief per se but rather pointing out the decline of traditional mores. Next time do the research before posting... And if you want to read something truly bleak checkout Lovecraft or Sartre.
