The Nietzschean & Heideggerian Deatth of God has nothing to do with
Christian & Jewish notions of the godhead: the death is the death of the
dominance/power of the ideal/supersensible realm of metaphysics. In the face
of this, both Nietzsche and Heidegger pursue their different though
intertwined paths of thinking the overcoming of metaphysics. You are far too
literal-minded to see the allies you might have...
