So when I watched it being played to some type of PlayStation advert, and instead of "He", they were using the word "You", I felt sad. Sad that something I had associated with spirituality and God, was now associated with a piece of technology. Nevertheless, it was representative, and truly telling of the times that we live in today, because I don't doubt that technology and narcissism is the predominate religion of the 21st century.

Which is why, on watching the advert, I thought it would be relevant for me to share something I had recently read in Rollo May's book, The Discovery of Being, which had a profound affect on me.

The following quote is referring to Kierkegaard, Soren and Nietzsche, Friedrich, all renowned 19th century philosophers.

"...God is dead." Kierkegaard had passionately denounced, with almost nobody listening, the softened, vapid and anaemic trend in Christianity; by Nietzsche's time the deteriorated forms of theism and emotionally dishonest religious practice had become part of the illness and had to die.

"Roughly speaking, Kierkegaard speaks out of a time when God is dying. Nietzsche when God is dead."

Even though Kierkegaard was referring to Christianity, I think in today's climate, all of it could be applied to any god, because people are so quick to put themselves first, and it seems, that is something of what Nietzsche was trying to say.

Often, but not always, when I hear a preacher of any kind, I can't help but wonder is it the word of God they love to spread or just the sound of their own voice? Perhaps, this is because I struggle to see beyond my own vanity and can't help but perceive others under the same light.

However, it is a question worth asking, and one which should not threaten any sincere person, regardless of their chosen practice.

It's a bit like wondering whether Gordon Ramsay is really passionate about food or just likes his own ego being on display.

In the 21st century, when man is trying to produce man, looking for solutions to be able to live forever, I think we are safe to declare that our century symbolises the death of God for the resurrection of man, and now it seems, even man is dying.

Selling their soul to technology and soon we'll be nothing but mechanistic beings ourselves.

No wonder the world is in meltdown.
