death of god, n.Definitions

The Death of god is about accepting responsibility — man's responsibility increases as that of the gods decreases.

The Death of god is not a complete death. If they drive God from the earth, we shall shelter him underground.

The Death of god is necessarily also the death of Man—that is to say, the end of a certain lordly, overweening humanism—if absolute power is not simply to be transplanted from the one to the other. Otherwise humanism will always be secretly theological. It will be a continuation of God by other means.
