I can't tell you the times i've heard people completely fuckign miss the point of what he said, even to the point of skipping the second part of the quote. "god is dead, he remains dead, and we killed him." This wasn't a statement of pride, this was a statement of regret for the collapse of religious and traditional moral foundations in modern society due to scientific and philosophical developments. The statement is more "what the fuck have we wrought, what have we done, we wiped out the moral framework and we are now subject to this modern bullshit" That's what i took from it at least, that's why i try my best to understand what this man was talking about.
We started this long march to gay race communism and the shit i was talkign about the other day about us replacing god with science/the state, and the devil with some sort of evil like hitler, stalin, mao, or some group of people we must hate because they are "evil."
