Theists and atheists, what are your thoughts on...?

Question

Friedrich Nietszche??
“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?”

I see one fault in his reasoning, God was never alive.

JG · Answer

I don't agree with the first two sentances. God is not dead. He is alive and has existed forever and will exist forever. 

However, Christians believe God came down to earth in the form of a man named Jesus. And Jesus was killed, and on the third day after his death his body disappeared. He rose from the dead and appeared in a glorified body to his disciples. They proclaimed this good news to everyone, and started the church.
