“Truth,” Nietzsche continued, “is arrived at through disbelief and skepticism, not through a childlike wishing something were so! Your patient’s wish to be in God’s hands is not truth. It is simply a child’s wish—and nothing more! It is a wish not to die, a wish for the everlastingly bloated nipple we have labeled ‘God’! Evolutionary theory scientifically demonstrates God’s redundancy—though Darwin himself had not the courage to follow his evidence to its true conclusion. Surely, you must realize that we created God, and that all of us together now have killed him.”
