Probably Nah, seriously - no idea - can´t judge about Potsdam, and I´m not on the FU (although I could visit some courses there too - maybe I´ll do it during the next years). Don´t know how good the libraries in the uni of Potsdam are, in Berlin you have the libraries of all three unis, plus the huge state library

For uni libs, it is said that the FU has the best for history studies. The HU suffers a bit from the financial crisis of Berlin However, since one can use both....

Uh... no.
In its broadest sense "God is dead" means that transcendent explanations for traditional human values, like Theism or Kant's Transcendental Idealism, have been discredited.
This means we have to look for the source of value in the physical world (in the Greek sense of "physical") and we don't find justification for most of our traditional values there.

God disappeared in a puff of logical contradiction.

Before I leave is someone willing to write more than a single word or a one-liner about it?

I guess I thought the phrase would somehow have had more to do with why Nietzsche personally didn't believe in God... but now it's really pretty obvious what it means and I should have been able to figure it out myself.

What he really meant was, "the syphilis is beginning to take its toll on my mental functions. Soon I shall go completely wacko and die in a sanitarium. But you should still respect my opinions now for some reason."
Ignore all these other clowns.

You still using this sad excuse? Do you realize, given your condition, how many people in the old days would have ignored and invalidate everything you said and decided: he has an issue, he is not "normal", anything he says is crap- don;t listen to him, and in that way would deny you the ability to make your points and show you do have intelliegence and wit.
And yet, you do it for Nietzsche, a man who far greater experts in philosophy treat as one of the very important thinkers of the modern times.

*Suddenly realises a serious post is required*
I concur. Ad hominems abound. One would hope that people would separate the products of a philosopher and its worth from the man behind the mind. I find it perhaps to be an indication of somes desire to not understand (or inability to perhaps?), and simplistically take instead the disposition of the man and use it to ridicule his ideas.
Should my views not be taken seriously because as a person I am strange?

Indeed! It isn't simply that the Christian God and its absolute morality is dead, but all metaphysical explinations for humanity's divinity (ie, that all mean are inviolable because of some X) are dead and discredited. Thusly, there is no absolute morality dealing with how inherantly divine every human is.
