What Nietzsche should have done


Before abstract definition and non-material symbol became God, prehistory saw God more as an object, or objects, which was good for the masses to understand. Theological materialism takes back from the revealed religions their non-objectification of God and makes Godhood an object once again, a supreme object, or supreme supermaterial objects.

The possibility of myth once again presents itself with the evolution to Godhood in the cosmos. Even the story of creation in Genesis is fading from religion. The ironic thing is, theological materialism leading to Godhood in the cosmos is grounded in the material and supermaterial world yet it brings myth back, which largely came to be lost in the spiritual abstract world of both religion and science.

This is the “trans-valuation” that Nietzsche should have done, rather than declaring that God was dead and reaching for art and philosophy to fill the gap.  Godhood never died, God was rejected as a material or supermaterial object by religion of all things.
