the death of god...

Martha: Did you, did you have to?
George: Yes.
Martha: ...You had to?
George: Yes.
Martha: I don't know.
George: It was time.
Martha: Was it?
George: Yes.
Martha: I'm cold.
George: It's late.
Martha: Yes.
George: It will be better.
Martha: I don't know.
George: It will be, maybe.
Martha: I'm not sure.
George: No.
Martha: Just us?
George: Yes.
Martha: You don't suppose, maybe...
George: No.
Martha: Yes. No.
George: All right?
Martha: Yes. No.

George (singing softly to her):
Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf

Martha: I am George.
George: Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Martha: I am George, I am.


Albee, Edward: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, 1966

there has long been a cry following publication of Nietzshe's works that he declared that "God is dead!"
i don't believe that that is actually what he meant...
i believe he meant that man killed god...
god did not die of his/her own volition...
if he/she ever existed...
