"God is dead" cried Nietzsche, "and do we not roam in the endless nothingness?" .Such atheistic existentialist philosophers as Nietzche despaired even of the search of God.... actually Nietzsche was not the only one .... but God was between myth and reallity to many ..... Philosopher Kant and theologian Ritschl denied that one could have a theoretical knowledge of the being of God....Since God was not empirically verifiable, the biblical world view was said to be mythological and unacceptable to the modern mind ..... many viewed the death of God ... some were believing in it and some are not .... but it was inevitable where masses of people were oriented to atheism because of living in a world of absolute materialism ....
But the idea of God's death began to have special prominence in 1957 when Gabriel Vahanian published a book entitled God is Dead. Vahanian did not offer a systematic expression of death of God theology. Instead, he analyzed those historical elements that contributed to the masses of people accepting atheism not so much as a theory but as a way of life. Vahanian himself did not believe that God was dead. But he urged that there be a form of Christianity that would recognize the contemporary loss of God and exert its influence through what was left. Other proponents of the death of God had the same assessment of God's status in contemporary culture, but were to draw different conclusions.
Thomas J J Altizer believed that God had actually died .... Altizer claims the church tried to give God life again and put him back in heaven by its doctrines of resurrection and ascension. But now the traditional doctrines about God and Christ must be repudiated because man has discovered after nineteen centuries that God does not exist. Christians must even now will the death of God by which the transcendent becomes immanent.
For William Hamilton the death of God describes the event many have experienced over the last two hundred years. They no longer accept the reality of God or the meaningfulness of language about him. Nontheistic explanations have been substituted for theistic ones. This trend is irreversible, and everyone must come to terms with the historical - cultural - death of God. God's death must be affirmed and the secular world embraced as normative intellectually and good ethically. (sounds nice)
(death of God theology)
God remained between Myth and reallity for years .... God is not dead to me .... god is out of the whole play gentle theologians .... being is a human ..... human is no god unless he has supernatural powers .... sometimes people misinterpret powers they lack as spuernatural ones turning flesh into gods ..... still depending on what is supernatural to you .... and still God is out of the play
