7) On the Consequences of "God is Dead"

Nietzsche was a crazed man, but he did reword several different ideas. Among these was his redefining of sin as "the will to power." But, as described in the last note, his boldest and most dangerous proclamation was that "God is Dead." This statement returns to the idea of my previously mentioned "Christian atheism." I ought to define this term so that a serious discussion of it can take place. A Christian atheist titles themself Christian, while acting no different from a total atheist. Those who go to church on Sundays, and then don't give a second thought to God for the rest of the week could most likely be called by this title. This atheism is more terrible than "full" atheism because it gives true Christians an undeserved reputation as no different from the average non-Christian. This is a dangerous road that eventually leads to a very distinctly non-Christian world. The actual progression from a Christian world to one that was not so will be the topic of my next note.
