he was denouncing the practice of god, and the existence of it. God never existed in his mind, and it's foolish we practice religion. The intellectual standards of the human race should have had matured into a logical thinking standard and hence logically deduce that god does not exist according to him. He forsaw logic ruling everything, as if humanity would awaken into this age. He concluded with an observation that humanity would all become more or less fixated on logic so much, as that we would transcend into an age he called "the total eclipse of human values". In effect, everyone would realize how foolish morals and values were and would be rendered nihilist in the future...the mentality was that if we all thought about it long enough we'd "realize" that our past proceedings into the advancement of civilization with ethics and morals was nothing more than an extended fatuous notion. Well, that didn't happen yet and i don't think it will. At one time i thought the same thing i must admit, but i didn't write it down heh, cause it doesn't seem very likely that will ever happen. So, nietzsche's future of the world would be a nihilistic one with no religion or code of ethics. He also said there'd be no creationist followers at some point, i think he put a date on it actually a vague one but a date i think, don't remember, it's probably past...if it didn't i don't really think it will ever happen anyway. Anyway, We'd all be more or less machines with the same rights as animals...rather there would be no inherent rights and we'd recognize this. But yeah, i'll stop there.
