Nietzsche...

We live as though God is dead, and we celebrate.  We do whatever we please and pretend that consequence does not exist...I mean, how could it if there is no God.  Nietzsche is credited with popularizing the notion that God is dead, but his conclusions were not celebratory.  With the Death of God, Nietzsche correctly predicted the bloodiest century ever as man strove to take the place of God, with no guiding morals or meaning.

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Yet his shadow still looms. 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?

—Nietzsche, The Gay Science

I should admit here that I haven't studied enough of Nietzsche to be sure that I'm giving his thoughts the correct context.  However, what I read seems to point at some truth.  This next quote points to the notion that the world is not as it should be.  And in the previous quote, he hints that man is not worthy of this Godly status.

A nihilist is a man who judges that the real world ought not to be, and that the world as it ought to be does not exist.

—Friedrich Nietzsche, KSA 12:9 [60],

Like all thoughts that lead us astray, there is truth in what he speaks.  These are the conclusions of a man who sees Darkness but lacks the ability to hope for the Light.  God is not dead, he is surely alive, risen in fact.  To say that God is dead is to say that Good and Evil do not exist.  Who can look at the world and say this?  And while we may rage against injustice and shake our fists (at God) at the unfairness of it all, we should at least allow the possibility that if we can sense Good and Evil, a defining morality, that there may in fact be a definer.
