thurs., 3 dec., 2020: (latin) countdown 2 xmas, iii.: give us This Day our Daily Curse

[NOTE: these terms are weaponized language, &meant to give offense. Which is the whole & compleat & total & entire point of insult & invective, obscenity & blasphemy, & other political speech.]

LATIN: “Deus mortus est.”  ‡‡

   

‡‡) “God is dead.”  

 an odd phrase, & reverse-engineered translation of the phrase by 19th. C. Germ. philologist & couch pope supreme 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,  “pray tell,  which god?”
