"God is dead" was technically not edgy at the time. When properly interpreted, it had the same meaning as the modern day stereotype of the 80 year old grandmother complaining about immorality. The full paraphrased quote is "God is dead, we have killed him," Nietzsche was actually warning that turning away from God would lead to the loss of Christian morality and the destruction of Europe, as seen in the 20th century.

Nietzsche was far from being a fan of Christian morality though. And I doubt the 80 year old grandmother would say, "Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Will we not have to become Gods ourselves to seem worthy of it?"

I'm pretty sure the KGB (an intelligence agency) wasn't a "branch of government" akin to the judiciary or legislature.

Wouldn't agency be a better term than branch for the Putin question, since technically branch would refer to either the legislative, executive or judicial branch?

This is just a suggestion, as titans being "gods" is generally accepted by many, but while I guess they could be considered similar to gods, technically speaking titans are most certainly not gods themselves; that is what divides them from those who overthrew them in the Titanomachy.

I tried security for the Putin question but that was obviously not sufficiently specific. Perhaps the question might specify that a particular agency is required.

The flight in question from Tahiti has been discontinued - still an interesting question, but perhaps worth adjusting the verb tense in the next update. The longest regularly scheduled domestic flight that is currently operating *does* still result in the same answer, it just doesn't originate in Tahiti.

Nietzsche's quote, be that partial or full, and I am speaking openly without intent to cause squabbles, more debate, says that he has not known God, of the Abrahamic/Judaist belief (like I). And I'm not saying he has to, God will go on existing whether one person or a billion people say He does not exist. I do ask this though, of those who agree with Nietzsche, when things go south in life, or there is hope to blame someone or something due to a situation, to whom shall you associate the pain and suffering? If you do not believe there is a God, or that God is there, why blame a God you do not believe exists? More than happy to discuss.
