Nietzsche had it right when he declared god is dead:
The Christian legacy had long since been put to bed.

The fervor of Patrick paddling the Ocean for Christ,
Has now become a mega church prosperity heist!

All of our fetid ideas of god must be buried,
And our rotten religious sentiments cremated.

Zarathustra has returned with his beautiful fire;
The unholy truths will be placed in a funeral pyre.

“God has become man, so that man may become god”-
This new ancient truth will soon become ultra mod!

Darvish has never been so happy that god is dead:
The silent God-Man lives and talks in our hearts instead!
