Answer 2

guilt from having the blood of gods death on his hand? guilt? why guilt?

i think u have a misunderstanding of the idea of death of god. Nietzsche in his most apparent nihilism, seems to be also the most apparently positive of thinkers because his philosophy is not a guide that u should think like him but its a guide that YOU SHOULD THINK FOR YOURSELF. so there is no guilt.

Nietzsche's first task was to kill god, to help bring freedom of mind and seek an objective truth.

Although Nietzsche was a great liberator , the kind of freedom he helped bring into being was also a terrible burden. he was all too aware that the death of god had left a void where certainties once existed, in order to fill it he tried to do something which no one before him had never attempted and for which he would pay a heavy price. He wanted to be the moralist of the new post-god society, so he was setting himself a task which he/no one could possibly fulfill.

There are claims that Nietzsche had several sicknesses and diseases. Syphilis, brain cancer and some others. however no one knows for sure. although he didn't manage to fulfill his 2nd task but killing god was certainly his greatest triumph in his life, so i don't understand why that should make him feel guilty and lead to his mental sickness!

Answer 3

Nah, he was just a crazy man.

Answer 4

He died guilty in is sins with no hope of salvation or redemption that is for sure.  His legacy continues to be seen long after his death in in the University lounges and class rooms of 1930's Germany (Hitler even passed it out) and right through to our modern day... a legacy of a degenerate unrepentant soul!  Most could care less about his philosophy if it weren't for his "God is dead" comments.  Well he is dead and like Voltaire, Bertrand Russell and someday Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins they will face the judgement and some will still call them wise.

1 Corinthians 1

20   Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

21    For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.

Nietzsche spent years in an insane asylum, had contracted syphilis and there seems to be some debate of whether the syphilis or brain tumour killed him.  

He did not die of guilt, people like that usually have so dismissed ultimate accountability and do not feel guilt for anything.  Read about Adolf Eichmann and his trial, no remorse, no guilt!

Answer 5

Why should he die of guilt? All he ever did was talk and write words on paper. Nobody had to believe him.

Answer 6

The mob has destroyed God each time his Spirit of love and Peace arises in the world. What an audacity to accuse Nietzsche of killing God !

The mindless Atheists kill Gods Spirit and wisdom each day with their ranting of evolution and free will, philosophies and history they have no understanding of in relation to their ancestry. The insatiable and lust ridden feminist ruled weak race of the west kills God and his religion daily.

Delusion and denial are such tragic affairs.

Answer 7

he died of lonliness, his Zarathustra led him to personal enlightenment without a god, and he was alone in his journey.
