The Death of God, our Founding Fathers, Nietzsche, the Tunes of the prophets,

They wanted to assume, quietly enough, that God was already dead, and so they did not need to take

him into account. There's needed to be a complacent atheism. God served well enough in his time

back in the olden days when people needed to believe in something,

but as time wore on the deity grew more and more decrepit,

and finally had to be put in a home where he died of natural causes.

We would have visited him more but we were busy.

There are stacks of gold coins to count. Benecia, one of the few philosophers who actually saw,
