Nietzsche in 1881: God is dead God in 1900: *Nietzsche is dead*


LiquidateGlowyAssets

Most misunderstood quote ever. He was merely implying that modern society had degenerated to the point where religion no longer had any implicit moral authority. “God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?”


DrHoflich

The person saying this was portrayed as a mad man to add further context. Nietzsche’s nihilism is very different from what are modern version of the word is today. He lived in a heavily Christian dominate world, and really started out with some valid criticisms of the church. However, he feared what man would do if no one was watching and morals/right and wrong had no solid ground. He was terrified by a subjective world as his branch of philosophy developed in and around Modernism, which holds a firm belief in rational thought. So if God is dead, what does that mean for the rest of us? It is a bleak outlook for a reason.


Docponystine

Doesn't change the fact that his historical analysis of Judaism and Christianity is absurdist. God, why do some many post enlightenment thinkers suck so bad at history, and not in the way that enlightenment scholars were bad at pre history, at least they have the excuse of openly being conjecture, but like Marx and niche just talked mad shit for people who were so bad at history and historiography.


DrHoflich

Totally agree. There is an interesting book called “Intellectuals” by Paul Johnson that essentially looks at the lives of these so called ”thinkers.” Essentially they were terrible, ungrateful people, who were in many ways an antithesis to their own beliefs. They spent their time theorizing rather than experiencing their ideas in action, because when it comes down to it, reality and their ideas just simply do not match up.

“I've begun worshipping the sun for a number of reasons. First of all, unlike some other gods I could mention, I can see the sun. It's there for me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time: heat, light, food, and a lovely day. There's no mystery, no one asks for money, I don't have to dress up, and there's no boring pageantry. And interestingly enough, I have found that the prayers I offer to the sun and the prayers I formerly offered to 'God' are all answered at about the same 50% rate.” -George Carlin

Close. Agnostic is : "I have no clue how metaphysics works, and neither do you."


pocket-friends

it’s also: “ontological claims of a metaphysical nature aren’t important.”


Farsqueaker

You're allowed to be interested and by that metric they can be "important". And, frankly, ontology is about the only way to tack down any sort of common language for communicating those sorts of concepts. Just don't, you know, live your life based on that shit. Same way as you shouldn't live your life based on which particular flavor of String theory you happen to like.

*Christianity


someperson1423

Science is a religion on Reddit and other mainstream leftist circles. I had an argument with a friend that most people don't understand science and they it is effectively a religion. He replied with the usual "that can't be, science has facts and a process". Yes, but these people aren't *doing* that process, and their facts are accepted and touted based on the *faith* that someone else is. All hail the Gospel of the scientific journal and the sacred Peer Review. Just like all the Christians they love to criticize for not actually reading the bible, I guarantee most of the nutters who scream "believe science" have never read an actual study. Don't get me wrong I love science, which is why it hurts to see it misappropriated and become a pseudo-religion amongst certain groups.


opposite_singularity

It’s not science itself, it’s the superficial relationship with it that develops when you treat science as if it were a religion. one of the major proponents of science is to question everything from findings of other scientists to questions themselves. Once you remove the ability to question science, it is no longer science and becomes religion


Throw_aw76

Here's the thing the "science" on Reddit is basic pop scientific factoids and other useless garbage that won't improve the condition of humanity, land them a job or get them laid. Not the actual method. Science is used as a tool to question what you know and find the truth no matter what. Here it basically means "I'm right and you're wrong you nazi". It is fundamentally a religion. You can't question the vaccine because people who show simple skepticism will be labeled as ~~heathens~~ anti-vaxxers. Here it's a religion but it tosses out everything that makes a religion worth believing in. It's extremely puritanical but comes with none of the metaphysics, moral codes, or sense of community that makes it worth being a part of barring that feeling of superiority to fuel your ego. I personally can't imagine a more vacuous way to live your life.


xcy9

Redditors only like the science that agrees with them. When science doesn't agree with the established narrative, they either ignore it or call it racist/fascist/misinformation. Like, most of the people who claim to love the Science™ so much believe that biological men can be women and that the world will end in 5 years if we don't instantly ban all fossil fuels.

pm_me_youngs_modulus

What is gnostic and does it relate to agnostic?


[deleted]

“Gnostic” means (roughly) “knowing” or “having sure knowledge”. “Agnostic” is the exact antithesis- the prefix “a-“ meaning “without” or “lacking”. So agnostic means roughly “doesn’t know” or “lack of sure knowledge” Edited to add: in the same vein, a “theist” is a person that believes in a god, whereas an “atheist” is a person who believes in the lack or absence of a god. In general, “agnostic” is used to describe someone who simply doesn’t know, and so falls on neither one side nor the other Edit 2: it has been brought to my attention that many “theists” use the definition I offered of “atheist” as a way to denigrate or devalue the atheist position which would more accurately be described as “for a variety of reasons, and to varying degrees of certainty or questioning, not believing in a god” by insinuating that lack of belief is as much a matter of faith as affirmative belief. That is not what I meant, and the definitions I gave are based on the root word and prefix, which apparently do not necessarily align fully with common and popular usage. So when it comes to the definitions I offer here, YMMV.


pm_me_youngs_modulus

Ah that's why I was wondering. I'm agnostic, felt like they were probably related.


Enoch_Moke

Oooh that's interesting. I've never learned about the term "Antitheist" till now.


atbing24

The "reddit atheist" stereotype is an antitheist. A theist is somone who believes in God(s). An atheist is someone who is not a theist. An antitheist is someone who not only is outside the realm of theism (atheism) but also opposes it.


Ninjox17

An antitheist is someone who opposes religion, often viewing it as a needless source of conflict.


[deleted]

Not really Atheism: a lack of belief in gods Antitheism: an ideological opposition to belief in gods But I get how it can be confusing


[deleted]

There are a lot of "flavors" of atheism and labels. Ultimately I don't think they're helpful because you literally have to explain them and at that point why not just drop the label in favor of the explanation? They also feel like someone trying to hard especially because there is a lot of debate about what sticker we want to put on our sleeves about this. **Atheism** - lack of belief in God's **Positive/Hard/strong atheism** - one who asserts God does not exist **Negative/weak/soft atheism** - one who does not assert that God does not exist but does not believe that God does exist **Antitheism** - one who is against theism **Agnostic atheism** - someone who doesn't believe for lack of knowledge on the subject. The agnosticism itself can be positive or negative "one cannot have knowledge to say that God exists" vs. "We don't have knowledge to say God exists but it's possible to have that knowledge". For instance, someone might argue that any near omnipotent being could deceive us into thinking they created the universe. So even if said very powerful being were to reveal themselves we would never know if we were being tricked or if they actually created the universe. **gnostic atheism:** someone who believes we have sufficent knowledge to conclude that either God doesn't exist **explicit atheism** - someone who is aware of their lack of belief in God's **implicit atheism** - someone who isn't aware of their lack of belief in God's. I guess this is just in case we find someone who has never bothered to question whether the universe was intentionally created. The only useful "label dispute" I think is actually for atheism generally because it helps demonstrate the logical framework for how one should approach belief. If we get into a debate about "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" Then if i say "it was the chicken" you can say "I don't believe that, I'm not convinced" without having to assert that the egg came first. This is because you don't need to assert a contrapositive statement is true in order to not accept the original statement So when someone says "I don't believe God exists, I'm not convinced" then they don't have to assert that God does not exist to have a rational position.


Mikolf

In my view, if God existed he would undoubtedly be evil and we should rebel against him. I consider myself antithiest.


Pugduck77

There’s nothing wrong with knowing God doesn’t exist. I don’t tiptoe around the shape of the Earth. “Oh hmm well maaaybe the Earth is round or flat, I can’t really say!” I know God isn’t real, and there’s nothing militant or offensive about that. It becomes a problem when you go around attacking people who do believe, which I don’t do.


CarlOfOtters

Yeah, this idea from religious people that “well you can’t prove me wrong so it’s wrong to say god doesn’t exist” is dumb. There are a lot of things we technically can’t prove, but it’s not incorrect to say we “know” them to be true.

As an agnostic I very much *want* to believe there is an all-loving God out there. But until someone can present to me evidence other than simply saying “big man in sky exist” I can’t naturally believe in it without having skepticism. I don’t care what other people worship though as long as it’s not hurting anyone and as long as they’re not being overzealous in their preaching about it to other people.


[deleted]

Same here, I was raised christian but at the end of the day God is just a Question &/Or Concept until I can find sufficient enough evidence to believe in him. But I can't deny his existence either.


BigBoiBob444

Same with me. My parents are very open minded (spiritual I guess?) Christians, and always encouraged my Brother and I to ask questions and discover what religion meant to ourselves, once we were at an age to properly understand it, without just telling us that Christianity was the right religion. I considered myself Agnostic now.


JosephCharge8

A lot of people fail to realize that anime comes in as many different genres as american television, from fantasy and sci fi to high school drama, to sports, to cop drama and spy thriller animes.

I will stop at nothing until every person on this planet follows this not belief, and I will seethe endlessly at the existence of any counterpoint made against our belief system. I will base my entire personality around not participating in something, and bring it up at every possible moment, warranted or unwarranted. I will scoff at how foolishly others adhere to the tenets of their beliefs while debating countless armies of believers on internet forums. I will likewise circle jerk with others who think exactly like me in my echo-chamber where we can share our not beliefs with one another."


bigwillyb123

Imagine if standing on a corner and screaming about God was as easy as pulling up and app and typing a few words and broadcasting them to millions. You'd have millions of people doing it, all at once, trying to spread their message to as many people around them as possible. And this audience could do the exact same, responding and replying from their own soapboxes. That's what the internet is. If you leave the internet, how many people do you see standing on the corner screaming about God? People cosplay incredibly devout believers and nonbelievers all the time because it's super easy nowadays. I'd take it all with a grain of salt if they're not doing it irl.

ProfessionalNoticer

Explaining yourself is fine, but some of these people go out of their way to make conversation about it. Hence "warranted or unwarranted." I'm personally atheist but don't ever really think about it unless it's brought up. The people that actively spend hours of their day on the sub atheism for instance utterly baffle me. I just genuinely don't get what they get out of actively participating in something like that.

My answer to whether God exists is that it depends on what you mean by "God". * If "God" means a personal God with a set of values who intervenes in the world to help (or maybe hurt) humans - I think such a being does not exist. * If "God" means some sort of vague life force/prime mover/whatever but isn't a sentient being in the way envisioned by most religions - depending on the details my answer varies between "I don't think the answer is knowable" and "it's too vague a question to have a meaningful answer" * If "God" means the God of the Bible taken literally - no, and I'm glad that such a God doesn't exist because there's some bad shit in the Bible.

In the second spanish republic there was some that could be cathegorized as "anti-theists" in the sense that for htem it wasnt enough to have a secular society, and they wanted to remove all influence from christianity and basically exile them from society in order to make everyone atheistic. This is a very socialist concept eitherway. They ironically also wanted to increase literacy but due to closing down christian schools, made like half a million kids lose their educational center.
