Inkari Files Entry 013 – The Prophet of the Funeral
“God is dead.” Three words that changed modern philosophy.
But here’s what most people never ask: Where’s the body?
Nietzsche’s declaration wasn’t a celebration—it was a eulogy. He saw a culture walking out of the church with a smirk, thinking it had outgrown faith, and he realized what they’d actually done was pull the foundation out from under their own meaning.
He knew the implications. If there’s no God, there’s no grounding for morality. No eternal justice. No ultimate truth. Everything becomes preference—power dressed up as virtue.
And Nietzsche hated hypocrisy. He didn’t want a world that pretended to be good without God—he wanted honesty. If God was gone, then let’s stop pretending love and justice mean anything. Let’s face the void head-on.
That’s what made him terrifyingly consistent—and tragically wrong.
Because his solution wasn’t repentance; it was replacement. If God is dead, man must become god. Enter the Übermensch—the “Overman.” The one who creates his own values, defines his own truth, writes his own morality.
It sounds poetic—until you realize how much of our modern chaos traces back to it.
When we say “live your truth,” that’s Nietzsche’s Overman whispering.
When morality bends for convenience, that’s Nietzsche’s Overman deciding what’s good today.
When we glorify self-expression over self-control, that’s Nietzsche’s gospel.
And here’s the irony: Nietzsche didn’t think this would make us happier. He thought it would make us honest. But what it actually made us was hollow.
Because humans weren’t built to bear the weight of godhood. We weren’t designed to create meaning—we were made to discover it. And when we try to replace the infinite with ourselves, the result isn’t enlightenment. It’s exhaustion.
Modern philosophy still drinks from Nietzsche’s well: Dawkins, who preaches science as salvation. Foucault, who says truth is just power in disguise. Postmodernism itself—declaring all meaning subjective.
They all live in Nietzsche’s shadow. They all keep the funeral going.
And yet, for all his brilliance, Nietzsche’s story ends where every godless worldview must: despair. By the end of his life, the man who declared God dead descended into madness—cradled in delusion, unable to speak, haunted by the silence of the very God he denied.
That’s not irony. That’s prophecy.
Because once you kill God, you also kill meaning. And meaning doesn’t die quietly—it drags everything else down with it.
Nietzsche saw it coming. He just mistook the darkness for dawn.
“The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” — Psalm 14:1 (NASB1995)
The world still lives by his epitaph—pretending the grave is progress. But the truth remains: the tomb is empty, and the Light still lives.
The funeral was loud. The grave was empty.
