What is the concept of God according to Nietzsche?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"All gods are mere mental fabrications that imprison the spirit; true creativity lies in serving life, not in re-polishing metaphysical lies."
According to Osho, Nietzsche’s ‘God’ is a fiction: though he proclaimed ‘God is dead,’ he inconsistently urged inventing a ‘better’ God—still only a refined lie. All gods, of any religion, are mental fabrications that become prisons; a ‘better’ God would forge stronger chains. True creativity should serve life—people, art, society—not re‑polishing metaphysical falsehoods.
Nietzsche said God is dead, but trying to make a ‘better God’ is still pretend—drop it and create better lives instead.
