Abstract
"Whither is God," he [the madman] cried. "I shall tell you. We have killed him - you and I. All of us are his murderers. But how have we done this?God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him."
In today's postmodern world, people are so consumed with themselves and their ideas of truth, that they have forgotten God and thus, to them, He is dead. People today see no reason or logic to bring God into the picture, into their lives. The pervasive worldview today is that we decide who we will become; therefore it is not necessary to have a God who would be in control of our lives. It is difficult for a Christian to live out his theistic worldview in today's postmodern world, but it can be done. The Lord knew of all the worldviews that would come into existence and yet He still gave the command to go out and reach all nations.
