God is dead, and we have killed him. What does this mean? It means that once there was God, and now there is only us. God deferred the meaning of His existence to us, and ever since we have been trying to defer our meaning back to him. That is to say, we have let the abyss write our values. Now we must face it as the “void that approaches with all its forms/whose most perfect image/is the advance of an incalculable group of crab lice” (Artaud). To atone for God's death, we must become gods ourselves. That is, we must do what not even God could... create meaning.
