Is God dead?

The three words represent a summons to reflect on the meaning of existence. No longer is the question the taunting jest of skeptics for whom unbelief is the test of wisdom and for whom Nietzsche is the prophet who gave the right answer a century ago.

Even within Christianity, now confidently renewing itself in spirit as well as form, a small band of radical theologians has seriously argued that the churches must accept the fact of God's death, and get along without him. How does the issue differ from the age-old assertion that God does not and never did exist?

Nietzsche's thesis was that striving, self-centered man had killed God, and that settled that.

The current death-of-God group believes that God is indeed absolutely dead, but proposes to carry on and write a theology without theos, without God.

Less radical Christian thinkers hold that at the very least God in the image of man, God sitting in heaven, is dead, and in the central task of religion today—they seek to imagine and define a God who can touch men's emotions and engage men's minds.

What do you think?

五年后，时代周刊又报道说：“ Jesus is alive and well and living in the radical spiritual fervor of a growing number of young Americans who have proclaimed an extraordinary religious revolution in his name. From The New Rebel Cry: Jesus Is Coming! Jun. 21, 1971 ”

However, for most Chinese, God has never lived, hence there is no such question as whether God is dead or not.

For most Chinese, the spiritual need is meager if any.

Jesus is a spirit which will long exists in their heart.
