Gods too decompose

I found this video incredibly interesting. I have heard this quote before and have read many of the ones presented in the video and can only offer one explanation. God himself was never a physical being. The only time that he ever manifested himself as a physical being, was through Jesus Christ. It is because of this, that I am going to disagree with the statement that Gods too decompose. I would also like to address the man who ran through the streets yelling where is God. God must be found within oneself. He lives in all of us, believers and non believers alike, but in order to find him, one must look within him or herself.

When Friedrich Nietzsche first spoke those words, I don't think that he meant them literally. What I interpret it to mean, is that the mid eighteen hundreds religion had fallen apart. During this time of great struggle between science and religion, people began to realize that the church was indeed fallible. They also began to realize that the things the church had been stating as fact for many years, were not true. Things along the lines of the earth being the center of the universe. I believe that what Nietzsche was trying to say was that times are changing and what they thought was never possible, was indeed possible. God was not dead. It was simply time for a new interpretation of the bible instead of the same one that had existed for nearly two millennium.
