" Hi, Fred ! Are you still here ?? I thought you were tired trying to explain to me how you killed God. "
Nietzsche : " Excuse me ?! I must correct you, Mortimer. I merely exposed the flawed and outdated notion of a divine creator that people held on to for too long. "
Adler : " I see... But to what end ? Aren't you afraid of the moral vacuum that may be created in a world without God ? "
Nietzsche : "

I think God needs a better lawyer. He'd better find it, otherwise He'II be given one ex officio.

Adler argues God's existence based on the existence of moral absolutes, which cannot be explained without reference to an absolute source of morality, which he identifies as God.
Okay, then how about those secular theories such as evolutionary sociology or anthropology ? Just a thought...

It seems to me that Islam and Christianity and Judaism all have the same God, and He's telling them all different things. Just for fun.

Dear God, you only have two little things to do, today.
1. Make the Universe, again.
2. Give Macron a tumor.
Thanks in advance.

Nietzsche : Mortimer, if God exists, why did He give humans the ability to reason and question His existence ?
Adler : I understand your perspective, but I still believe in the power of God to guide us.
Nietzsche: Maybe He just has a good sense of humor .
Adler : What do you mean ?
Nietzsche : He creates this vast universe, and then plunks us humans onto this tiny little planet and says " Figure it out ".

Adler : Morality is rooted in God's nature and his commands.It's not a matter of human opinion.
Nietzsche : If what is good is merely what God commands, then there is no reason to obey God except for fear of punishment.
Adler: God's nature is good because it is based on perfect love and justice. We should obey God out of love and respect for Him.
Nietzsche : Sounds like a classic case of Stockholm Syndrome to me

Adler argues that the universe must have had a beginning, and therefore a cause, which he asserts must be God. Quite debatable, though, because it is based on the premise that the universe must have had a beginning, which is not conclusive. Other theories suggest the universe has always existed and did not have a beginning. In both cases, the same mystery floats, so..all that remains is natural theology.

I don't know if God exists, but it will be better for His reputation if He didn't.

The good thing is that it doesn't lead to brain congestion. Yet.

Hahahaha!!!!!!!!! Adler gave Freddy the best advice and he didn't follow it! Silly Freddy!
It is as simple as that, God is a matter of faith and with that premise, there's not much more to say, even if Adler thinks it can be proved
That's it.. Freddy's words " The secret for harvesting
from existence the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment is to live dangerously ! " - doesn't really fit with The Ten Commandments...
I guess not, but oh well, Freddy was a téméraire 😀
To prove that existence is quite funny, after all, is like trying to prove the existence of a fart. You don't see it, but you feel it terribly.. 🤣
Haha, not at all Lord V. Bien bajado ese balón
Lord es un beisbolista imbatible. 🏆
I would be of entering a brothel. "
Adler : " Ah.. You need to be sprinkled with some holy water... "
Nietzsche : " Let's forget it, Mortimer, I find it amusing that you think logic and philosophy can prove something as intangible as
God. You know as well as I do that God is a matter of faith, not reason. "
Adler : " Agree. Just that while it's true that faith is a significant part of belief in God, I believe that evidence and reason can also support this belief.."
Nietzsche : " Hold it, hold it... If we're agree that God made the universe, who made God ? Mmm ? "
Adler : " Don't try to put me closing questions, Fred. You know very well that this question can be characterized as a misnomer since the concept of God commonly
carries the idea of an eternal, uncreated being that exists necessarilly. "
Nietzsche : " You know, Mortimer...tell me who came first, the egg or the chicken . In the meantime,
I'II make a sequel to Thus Spoke Zarathustra, the most valuable book of mankind, since the Big Bang. "
Adler : " Okay. See you soon. By the way, give up the brothel, you could die of syphilis, pal. "
