Since I've seen this *several* times in this group, the actual context of the
God is dead quotation of Nietzsche:
The Madman. -- Have you ever heard of the madman who on a bright morning lighte
d a lantern and ran to the market-place callin out unceasingly: I
seek God! I
seek Gad! -- As there were many people standing about who did not believe in
God, he caused a great deal of amusement. Why! is he lost? said one. Has he
strayed away like a child? said another. Or does he keep himself hidden? Is
he afraid of us? Has he taken a sea-voyage? has he emigrated? -- the people c
ried out laughingly, all in a hubub. The insane man jumped into their midst an
d transfixed them with his glances. Where is God gone? he called out. I me
an to tell you! *We have killed him*, you and I! We are all his murderes!....
-- from THE JOYFUL WISDOM
