Goddamn it !


"God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him".
-- Nietzsche

Nietzsche, when he said 'God is dead' never meant it literally, but if there is God, he would have ruined himself by now. What if he really is alive?

If there is God, he must be in quandary about his creation. He must
be searching for his creators and the creators of his creators. His
name, his sobriquet. Alas, he could not find his creators, not
because it will denude him of his 'God-ness', but because his
existence owes to Men's imagination. Whenever Man felt a twinge of
fear or exultation, a birth or death, a new formation of cloud in
the sky or a fiery tempest, he created a God. He created God for
everything which he can or can not conceive. He created God for
everything he loved and he feared. His faith, fear and feebleness
made god, almighty.

If there is God, he must be rueful for the creation of Darwin, who
abnegated his creators favorite creations, Adam and Eve, giving Apes
their place. He (read as God) must be repentant for the creation of
physicists, who claimed that universe's inception took place from
Nothing, absolute nothing. And that there was nothing, not even
time before it, nor God.

If there is God, he must be a narcissist. He never created another
immortal creature. He created mortals, belittled not in size but
morals. He never assayed to create a perfect creature as himself.

If there is God, he must be disappointed with his best creation,
the Mankind. He (Man), battling within himself and against his
brothers, because what he perceived of his father's (read as God)
teaching is dissimilar to his brother's perception. He struggles
for his land calling it patriotism, fights for his religion to
salvage his own god from others. Pity.

Since ages man is symbolising god for his own sake and in his own
way, snubbing his existence within himself.

Mark Twain once said, “… as unhappy as God.”.
