~~ GOD IS DEAD~~3..
The way I look at things, God has never been there, so how can he be dead? He was never born in the first place. It was invented by the priests, and it was invented for exactly these reasons: because man was in anxiety, man was in fear, man was in dread, man was in anguish.When there was no light, no fire -- just think of those days of humanity -- wild animals all around, and the dark night, no fire, the intense cold, no clothes, and the wild animals searching for their food in the night, and people were hiding in caves, sitting on the trees just to avoid...In the day, at least they could see that a lion was approaching, they could make some effort to escape. But in the night, they were completely in the hands of the wild animals.
And then they found that a time comes, people become old for no reason, and one day somebody dies. They could not understand what was happening. This man was talking,breathing, walking, was perfectly okay. Suddenly he was no longer breathing, he was no longer talking. It was such a shock to the primitive man that death became a taboo: Don't talk about it. Even talking about it created fear, fear that sooner or later you would be standing in the same queue, with the queue becoming smaller and smaller every moment. Somebody dies and you come closer to death; another dies, you come even closer to death.
Even to talk about death became a taboo, and not only to ordinary primitive people, even to the most sophisticated. The founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, could not tolerate the word "death." No one was allowed to mention the word in front of him, because just at the mention of the word "death" he would fall into a fit, he would become unconscious and start foaming. Such was the fear of the man who founded psychoanalysis.
Once Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung, another great psychoanalyst, were traveling from Europe to America to deliver lectures on psychoanalysis to many universities. On the deck of the ship, Carl Gustav Jung mentioned death. Immediately Sigmund Freud fell on the deck. That was the reason Sigmund Freud expelled Jung from the psychoanalytic movement, and he had to found another school. He called it analytical psychology. Just a different name, but it is the same process. But the reason for his expulsion was the mention of death

Say what u say to Gods face when u meet him,,,,,,
I will pray for u lost friend
"God" does not exist, so how can He/She/It be dead?
However, remove the personalized deity "Atum" and substitute an impersonal event (i.e. "Big Bang"). This claims a self-created universe. In essence, it is no more mathematically possible, scientifically plausible, logical, or rational than the "Atum concept". And yet modern thought not merely tolerates it, but embraces it.
Big Bang cosmology is essentially fundamentalist Atheism evangelizing the world with the good news of the "Gospel" that all came from utter nothing. And we are to believe that this patent absurdity is, somehow, the triumph of rationality over superstition.
Mankind's capacity for self deception does, indeed, appear limitless!
God has not graced me with enough faith to be an Atheist.
The fear you talk about was also invented the fear of being thrown into a fire and not just until you die but for eternity which in itself makes the prospect totally unbelievable because no crime can be so heinous as to warrant such a punishment.
@redwineblue, if God would interrupt into everything, humans would have nothing to do here on Earth anymore..
This is how I take it and I would not go through life without my lord Jesus Christ and his father God.
