White-haired old Sage:
o yes, before i forget: God is dead - Nietzsche

C: class Student of inferior intelligence: 
Nietzsche is dead - God.

White-haired old Sage:
Europe has 2 origins: Greek and Judaeo-christian - everyone

C: class Student of inferior intelligence: 
What about its Indo-European origins - what happened to them? Are their Gods 
dead too?
Someone said that our Gods were just renamed retreads of their Gods - is that 
true?

White-haired old Sage:
Again (for C students): It's the *christian* god that is dead.

C: class Student of inferior intelligence: 
Did he commit suicide, was he murdered, or did he just fade away out of sheer 
disinterest and neglect?
Anyway, how could something die that was never alive? 

White-haired old Sage:
What remains? 

C: class Student of inferior intelligence: 
McDonalds?  The Reverend Bomber Blair? The tulips of Amsterdam? Die Industrie 
Heidegger? Tudor with a chair growing out of his head? Crowley's copralites?
The Jewish God of the Golden Goad still  directorially instructs the Jews to 
regain their ancestral homeland, so presumably he must be alive and kicking? 
But I thought that the God of the Jews WAS the Christian God too - [Yahweh = 
Jehovah geddit?] or maybe you think it is only the Christian part of his body 
that is putrefied, like he has had some sort of an aposiopesis-type apoplexy or 
a stroke in which one half of the body doesn't work aaaaaaaand the left side 
of the mouth hangs down?  Have the Christianised arteries closed down, leaving 
what's left as some sort of Elephant Man type God - half Corblimey - half  
dangling offal? Is this what thou preacheth O wise White-haired old Sage of the 
tulip fields?

Hey teach! Do you mean perhaps that Zeus is still alive? Grrreat!!  Must book 
me a ticket to Greece pronto - they've got a tourist chair-lift to the top of 
mount Olympus now. [500 drachma, which includes free ambrosia and nectar 
thrown in as part of the deal] Let's party with the Gods... I really fancy Zeus' 
missus, what's er' name now... the dark haired one with the big boobs...you can 
have the one with the golden apple?

Cheers,

Jud.
