If that causes you to doubt my sanity, well, the line forms to the left.....

Then I'll go form up with the line on the right, dear shibumi!

YOU are not the crazy person here. You are not the one trying to live in denial of reality and ultimately denial of self.

I suspect that from more propitious beginnings, kosta has become a nihilist: he has "killed God." I can only wonder why he thinks this is a good thing to do.

Oh, I forgot: with God "gone," the categories of good and evil also magically disappear. So kosta can literally do whatever he wants, without consequences.

As Nietzsche well understood, with the "death" of God, all things are not only possible, but permissible; for with God "dead," we are "beyond good and evil."

You can't even tell me what God is, betty boop, yet you accuse me of killing God.

You have also engaged in unsolicited psychoanalysis of me and what I have become. I never denied God. I just don't know what God is. If I don't know what God is then what am I supposed to believe in? Fantasy? Apparently, to some people that is a viable choice. I don't have a pejorative term for them, although I am sure I could come up with one. But you seem to have no problem slapping labels on  me because I don't believe in things you can neither define, nor demonstrate.
