I give McCain credit for making me laugh. The self-deprecating O’Brien has a way of exploiting our collective funny-bone. Yes, I said “collective” funny-bone. Sue me!(…please don’t actually sue me). The truth is if you can make them laugh at you, you can likely make them vote for you. Of course, this works only to a limited extent; 100 years in Iraq will not be ‘comedy gold’ especially since the punch-line won’t be heard till 2108.

“God is dead, And we have killed him…”: means that the moral system of Christianity is no longer tenable. It cannot provide us with personal happiness. He is one of the first philosopher to critically dismantle Christianity as evil for its harmful effects on individuals. Christian love is an outcome of fear. This is weakness. Out of Christianity should emerge a new noble or superman that guides society and rules it for himself alone. Superman’s lust for power is the new system of morality. Therefore morality and God are both dead. Lust for power itself could be seen as and outcome of fear however according to Russell. He has a nihilistic belief: that being has no meaning. Without a God the world is a morally ambivalent and unpleasant place. Nietszche, however, is not pessimistic about the human condition.
