I ask you: Are you truly ready for this?<br \/>\nFor those strong enough to deal with it, the metaphorical &#8220;Death of God&#8221; can be a good thing, but for many, not so much. They don\u2019t like the fact that they, themselves, and no one else, are responsible for their lives and its outcome. They\u2019d rather be a faceless member of a flock. And this goes for most people who revolt against the established order.<br \/>\nSo, are you strong enough to face your demons and brave the horrors that lie within the Dark Absolute of the psyche, withstand the death of God, and face the reality of your autonomy realizing that you, and only you, are responsible for yourself and that you don\u2019t need a guardian, God or government?
