"God is Dead..."?

Friedrich Nietzsche, a prominent philosopher of the 19th century, whose works still influence thoughts on religion and secularism today, was once quoted as writing "God is dead." His belief is that man had become so enraptured by science and "reason" that they felt no need for God in their society. Without anyone to believe in God, God, according to Nietzsche, had died.

Isn't it great to know that God doesn't need man to be glorified and praised? If man never existed, God would still be just as great and glorious.

Jesus said in Luke:

“I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

Even the rocks cry out to God's greatness and majesty. Look at the mountains, the mighty seas, the vast deserts. God doesn't need us...but He wants us.
