Nietzsche Madman
For most people, God is at the center of their lives. They think about him when they do things they shouldn’t, they look for forgiveness in him and for they even ask him to give them happiness. So when most people hear the phrase “God is dead” they laugh it off and continue with their day. But this gave birth to a new worldview in which God is not at the center. Friedrich Nietzsche is the one who coined the phrase in his text “The Madman”. This worldview describes that once we realize that God is dead and that we are the ones who killed him, we will pave the way for a better future for the generations to come. When the madman first enters the marketplace he is ironically yelling how he is looking for God and the people there find him funny.
