To kill God


But what does it mean to kill God if he does not exist, to kill God who has never existed?
Perhaps it means to kill God both because he does not exist and to guarantee he will not exist - certainly a cause for laughter: to kill God to liberate life from this existence that limits it, but also to bring it back to those limits that are annulled by this limitless existence - as a sacrifice; to kill God to return him to this nothingness he is and to manifest his existence at the centre of a light that blazes like presence - for the ecstasy; to kill God in order to lose language in a deafening night and because this wound must make him bleed until there springs forth 'n immense alleluia lost in the interminable silence - and this is communication.
The death of God does not restore us to a limited and positivistic world, but to a world exposed by the experience of its limits, made and unmade by that excess which transgresses it.
