REACTION PAPER on GOD IS DEAD The lines‚ “God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him‚” can be true in literal sense. Subjectively‚ the lines presented are very agnostic and atheistic. Those are against my will and belief as a Roman Catholic faithful. The three shorter mentioned lines are three important points to be clarified about.
