wed., 3 dec., 2014: countdown 2 xmas, iii.: give us This Day our Daily Curse

LATIN:  “Deus mortus est.”  ‡‡

‡‡ ) “God is dead.” — an odd phrase, & reverse-engineered translation of the phrase by 19th. C. Germ. philologist & couch pope Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche;  & to be honest, while vexingly perplexing &/or bemusing, not terribly offensive, at least not to an ancient Roman, in sofar as ancient Romans would probably reply, “which god?”
