& sun., 7 may, 2023: a curiously existential latin blasphomet?: 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 to hear in Latin, esp. since coined by the German philologist & sofa pontiff Frederich Nietzschie, & not terribly offensive in Latin, in sofar as ancient Romans might reply, “which god?”
